Part of the ‘Every Child Matters’ agenda. Children are taught about democracy and how the system

works. They are also encouraged to take part in the decision

making process within school. Each class elects a class councillor. School Council elections will be held on 30.10.14. Council gives the children a voice and a forum to enter into

discussions about things that matter to them. e.g Installing the ‘Buddy Bench’ on the playground. OFSTED will write to the School Council when they visit

Hart Plain. They meet with the members to discuss positive aspects and targets for the school.

Snacks - Mid-morning snacks are also sold and cost 30p for a piece of fruit, 10p for raisins. Flavoured milk and fruit juices are 35p. Alternatively, you can send in a piece of fruit or a carton of fruit juice for break time.
