Stewart Headlam Primary School

At Stewart Headlam one of post Pupils Parliament actin plan was to develop air quality in our school. Our School Councillors worked with “Bike It” company to learn about environment.  This half term the councillors have been learning all about air pollution. On Friday, 27^th April we have visited to the woods in Weaver's Field to learn about lichen. By identifying different types of lichen, we can now tell how much pollution there is in the air. We found lots of lichen. Some showed us that, there was more pollution in the air, especially near to roads. When we went to a different part of the park further from roads, we have explored that, some Lichen that meant the air was cleaner. Our next step is that, soon, we're going to be using what we learnt about air pollution to see what changes we can make to improve air quality around the school.  Councillors have shared that learning to whole school at the end of the project. 

Our councillors also have managed to help Lead Councillor to order an air filter for each class which are working in classes to reduce the pollution in the classes.

Thomas Buxton Primary School

Hague Primary School

Pupil wellbeing

This year we have had a big focus on pupil wellbeing. 

Our School Councillors took the lead developing the Playground Well Being Box.

After attending Pupil Parliament, the School Council really liked the idea of having a Well Being Box full of resources that would be calm, quiet and relaxing activities to be used in the playground at playtime.

They created a wish list for the box, they asked if money raised in school through an enterprise project could be used for buying resources and now oversee its use every day. It has become a successful part of playtimes, proving very popular with all classes enjoying the lovely games and toys.

The school also marked Children's Mental Health Week with a poster competition.

All this work culminated in Hague School being awarded the Gold Health Schools Award. A group of school councillors attended an event at Tower Hamlets Town Hall to collect the award.
