Recently, our school council convened to discuss an important aspect of our school life: lunchtime provision. Representatives from all classes shared valuable feedback from their peers, highlighting both the successes and areas for improvement in our lunchtime activities.

One of the standout points from the meeting was the overwhelming appreciation for the range of activities and equipment available during lunch. Pupils expressed their enjoyment of the diverse options, which cater to different interests and needs. Whether children prefer energetic games or a peaceful moment on the Octobus, there truly is something for everyone. This inclusive approach has fostered a positive atmosphere during lunchtime, allowing pupils to engage socially and physically.

However, the council members also voiced some constructive suggestions. Many pupils expressed a desire for upgraded equipment to enhance their play experience further. They believe that refreshing the current offerings would not only improve safety but also make lunchtime even more enjoyable. For example, they would like stilts again and new dodge balls. 

Additionally, as the colder months approach, the representatives discussed the need for more indoor activities. They love that we currently have a designated space for indoor games or creative projects but maybe opening up another room with a different activity would provide an excellent alternative for those chilly days, ensuring that all pupils have the opportunity to stay active and engaged, regardless of the weather.

The school council is committed to bringing these ideas to the attention of school leaders, demonstrating the importance of pupil voice in shaping our school environment. By listening to our pupils, we can continue to enhance the lunchtime experience, ensuring it remains a time of joy, activity, and connection for all.

Together, we can create a vibrant and inclusive lunchtime atmosphere that meets the needs of every pupil! 

School council have been tasked with coming up with one question per class to ask our principal lunch time supervisor, who will be joining our meeting next time.
