Our Student Council
We are Keyingham Primary School's Student Council:
We meet on the last Tuesday of every month with Mrs Richardson and Ms Billaney (who is also the Clerk to our Parish Council). We each have a Student Council lanyard with an ID badge attached.
We focus on:
"Trying our best to encourage everybody to be fair and kind to one another"
“Being the voice for our class”
“Looking after each other and being Kind”
This year we are continuing to focusing on 'Student Voice' and ways in which we can use out voice to be heard.
We will explore using our voices to make change, what our voices can be used for, how our voices can transform and active listening.
At our school we have chosen a set of values which we review on a regular basis. We discuss them as a group and how they have been displayed in our classes. We R.A.G. rate them using our colour coded smiley faces. This helps us to see how we are doing or plan how to make changes if we need to.
Our values are:
CURIOSITY
COURAGE
KINDNESS
BEHAVIOUR
RESPECT
In school, we show these values in our behaviour, our learning, our curriculum and in the respectful way we interact with every member of our school community.
In February we will be attending the pupil conference at the University of Hull along with other Student Councillors from The Consortium Academy Trust.
We will provide regular updates of our progress on our projects in the Keyingham local newsletter (The Forward Magazine) and on the school website.
2021/22 - we planted trees on the local playing field for the Queen Platinum Jubilee, worked with a local builders merchant to build 2 sandpits for our school field, designed village road signs and created an end of year report.
2022/23 - we started our 'Journey to Green' project. We planted 53 trees at the front of the school. We presented in front of Parish Councils to ask for donations. We designed and received a bench for the Kings Coronation. All these fabulous items can be found in our Student Council book and end of year report.
2023/24 – We welcomed our local MP, Graham Stuart, to school to celebrate and recognise the fantastic work Student Council had achieved during the previous academic year. We also visited Hedon Town Hall to learn more about local government and proudly opened our new polytunnel at the village allotment, supporting our commitment to sustainability and community partnerships.
2024/25 – Student Council played a leading role in naming the roads for a new housing development in the village. Through research, discussions, voting and presenting their ideas to the local community, they successfully secured six new street names, which were later approved and featured in the local newspaper.
2025/26 – This year, Student Council continued their environmental work by planting more trees on the local playing field. They also began an exciting partnership with Ottringham Church, becoming involved in a major restoration project. As part of this, they visited the historic church, met with the Church Wardens, the Vicar and a representative from the University of York, and are helping to shape ideas for the future of this important community building.
