Binfield School council is made up of 14 children between Yr1-Yr6. In the Summer term we invite two YrR children to join us ready for the role as Year 1s.
The executive committee consists of the chair person who prepares the agenda, runs the meetings and liaises with teachers. The vice chairperson ensures everyone is involved and runs the meeting if the chair person is away. The secretary's role is to help prepare the agenda, type the minutes at the meeting and distribute the minutes to all. The treasurer is in charge of the budget and reports to us about how much we have spent.

Mrs Buttle is our link teacher who helps us with the smooth running of the School Council.
We meet every Friday lunchtime and our responsibilities have included taking visitors around the whole school, running the Toilet and Cloakroom awards by checking to make sure they are tidy and encouraging children to use the thinking 'Power Tools'. We have also written letters to Garden centres to ask for help with our Nature Reserve. This is our main project at the moment and we are working very hard to make lots of improvements to this area.
In the past we have presented to Governors and invited them to our meetings, organised for an outside classroom to be built and playground markings to be painted. We also hold class councils where we get ideas to talk about at the meeting. We publish a termly newsletter called 'BPS Hotline' for all pupils which tells of our activities, any notices we have and includes jokes and games.
