School Council
Endeavour Co-operative Academy values the opinions and ideas of all learners from across the school. We therefore have our very own School Council which is made up of different learners from all of Key Stages and classes. Each Key Stage School Council meet on a regular basis and discuss potential ideas and projects for the school, bring forward ideas and suggestions from learners within their Key Stages, discuss and organise fundraising events and discuss proposals and developments taking place within the school that are linked to the School Development Plan. The work that the School Council does enhances the school’s ‘Partnership of Discovery’ ethos and brings together learners and the wider school community to make Endeavour Co-operative Academy a fantastic place to be.
Meet our School Council
Primary are represented by 5 pupils from Cook, Polo, and Drake classes. This year, Key Stage 2 school council representatives will be discussing our hopes and dreams for the new primary playground, school dinner menus, ideas for additional lunch and break time clubs and possible locations for whole Key Stage trips.
Our Key Stage 3 School Council is made up of 8 learners. We have 2 learners from each of our 4 classes. We meet at least once every half term.
The Council Members liaise with the learners in their class, and across the Key Stage, in order to gather and share ideas for our meetings. We then discuss those ideas and cooperatively decide on how some of the discussion points can be implemented into everyday life at Endeavour. Our main aim is for our learners' voices to be heard and to encourage communication, ownership and responsibility for key events throughout the academic year.
KS4 school council is made up of two learners from each class, they meet with Mrs Hayden every half term. Our main focus is raising money for charity events such as Comic Relief, Children in Need and Jeans for Genes. The council discusses charities they would like to raise money for and organises creative events to support these causes. Our school council have recently been discussing ideas for the new build, including possible new healthy menu ideas for school dinners, furniture in the new classrooms and equipment on the new playground.
The Sixth form Reps for 2024-25 will be working on making improvements to break and lunch time facilities at the Chadwick Centre. They will be attending Essex Multi- schools school council meetings to work with other young people from across Essex to make sure young people's voice is heard. The reps will be looking at planning and organising events raising awareness of subjects that are relevant to young people.
