One of our first jobs this term was to elect our new team of School Councillors. Everyone was given the chance to run in elections in their class, presenting speeches to try to convince our classmates that we would be great at this job. Everyone then cast their ballot, with the winning boy and girl in each class elected for the year - you can see some of our winning speeches here. 

Regeneration Art 

At the beginning of the summer, we were invited to join an art competition run by the Stevenage Regeneration team. We all had the opportunity to create an image in blue, to reflect the neighbourhood of Bedwell - and earlier this term, we were delighted to learn that 15 of our children were winners and now have their artwork permanently displayed on the underpass at the roundabout joining Hitchin Road and Martin’s Way (by the fire rescue training centre). Former pupil Kevin was one of our winners and proudly visited 3 weeks ago.

Stevenage Schools Parliament

Our Year 5/6 School Councillors represented us at the Autumn meeting of the Stevenage School Parliament, which met in the actual council chambers. As well as meeting the mayor, they participated in a discussion around how we can all support positive mental health for everyone in Stevenage.
