The School Council: 2019 - 20
Quarry Mount School council representatives have been chosen for this this academic year from years 1-6. Each candiate gave a short presentation to their class sharing the reasons they would make a good representative and then children voted for the boy and girl that they wanted to represent their class.
Now they have been elected the school councillors will attend meetings with Miss Meiklejohn, to discuss what changes and improvements the children would like to take place at Quarry Mount.
School councillors also help to organise charity events, decide the best way to spend our fundraising and even get involved in the process of interviewing staff!
The School Council decided to run a competition to design your own school mascot. They thought that it would add to the team spirit of Quarry Mount along with things like our logo and our school chant. We had lots of entries from Reception up to Year 6. The School Council representatives had a very hard job in picking the winners. After much deliberation the prizes went to; Chra (Year 2) for her lovely QM bear and Jenson (Year 5) for his owl, Bright Spark. We hope they enjoy their prizes and continue to be creative!
This Christmas, the School Council helped to decorate our wonderful Christmas tree when it arrived at Quarry Mount. Thanks for doing a fantastic job!

Anti Bullying Week 2018 - November 2018
As part of Anti Bullying Week 2018, the school council put together a survey to find out about how bullying affects children in our school. We felt that whilst we were recognising this by whole school assemblies and lessons in PHSE, it was a good opportunity to give pupils a chance to share their experiences. We want all children at Quarry Mount to feel safe and supported. The school council explained to their peers during an assembly that the survey would be anonymous. During play times the representatives spoke with their peers to ascertain the following:
