School Council

Participation is one of the four general principles of the

United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Our School Council enables children's views to be heard.

Article 12 – Respect for the views of the child?

Every child has the right to express their views, feelings and wishes in all matters affecting them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously.

Article 13 – Freedom of expression
Every child must be free to express their thoughts and opinions and to access all kinds of information, as long as it is within the law..

Our School Councillors are elected by their classmates at the beginning of each year.

They meet regularly with Mrs Abbotts and are always listening to the views of their classmates, striving hard to improve both learning and well-being at Baguley Hall.  

You can spot councillors around school wearing special armbands.

Lord Mayor's Reception

Our School Councillors and Peace Pals from UKS2 attended a private reception with the Lord Mayor of the City of Manchester, Councillor Paul Andrews.

We heard lots of stories from the Lord Mayor's years representing the area of Baguley. His top tip for us was always listen to the people you represent. 

It was such a special day and a fantastic opportunity to speak to such an important member of our community.
