Welcome to the Pupil Governors page for Burton CE Primary School.

Our wonderful team of pupil governors are a central part of the school community, meeting regularly and acting as a 'pupil voice' to influence decision making and school improvement.  Each class has a note book to minute meetings and gather valuable peer feedback to inform our discussions and decisions.

Our Aims

We are the voice of the students

• We aim to get things done to make our school better.

• To find ways to improve our school.

• To give every pupil a voice and to make all decision making fair.

• To raise money for local and global charities.

Membership and Elections

Any pupil of Burton Primary School can put themselves forward to be elected democratically. Each candidate will be given time to think of a speech to present their class which will explain why they think they would be the best person to represent the views of their class. Then the classes vote for two people who they feel would get the job done the best by writing down the name of the two people they decide on.

Meetings

Pupil Governor meetings are held as often as possible. For the meeting to go ahead there must be at least 8 pupil governors present. Decisions will be made using a hands up or blind voting system. If a decision can’t be reached, it will be put to the whole school. Ideas and questions are put to classes/the whole school before they are voted on at a pupil governor meeting.
