BURLESCOMBE SCHOOL COUNCIL
Our school council provides children with opportunities to develop important character virtues such as confidence, communication, problem solving and service and is a key part of our character education programme.
Our school council is very much led by the students who comprise it and therefore their priorities and actions will change.
The work of all of the council incorporates all four cornerstones of our Curriculum 360 - academic, character, innovation and community.
Examples of some of the initiatives they may be involved in are:
Christian distinctiveness, e.g. collective worship, prayer & reflection and church links
Accessibility and diversity awareness

Local, national and global citizenship and international-mindedness
Community links
