School Council - Goldgrave

Our School Council Leaders Ms Akyuz and Mr Ganeshwaran.

At Colegrave, we have a School Council that has now been combined with the group run by Mr Ganeshwaran, known as GOLDGRAVE. The School Council is now referred to as GOLDGRAVE and is made up of children from Years 3 to 6. They play an important role in delivering pupil voice and bridging the gap between pupils and teachers.

Since the collaboration with GOLDGRAVE, they will also advocate for children's rights, safeguarding, and mental health. They meet regularly to discuss a range of topics, from introducing new policies to organising charity events. GOLDGRAVE is a vital platform for hearing the opinions of children and using that feedback to influence key decisions in the running of the school. Through a democratic process, there will be a chairperson and a vice-chairperson, who will be confirmed soon.

The purpose of GOLDGRAVE is to:

• Make the school a safer and a better place

• Promote, learn and understand children’s rights

• Encourage pupil voice

• Champion mental health 

• Ensure safeguarding is the top priority at school 

Ms Akyuz will continue to support the children in her role as the link teacher with the support of Mr Ganeshwaran.
