The Arnett Hills School Council is an elected body of children who each represent a different class in a forum for children to take an active part in the running of the school. The elected members from Y6 chair the meetings.

The children meet regularly. They listen to the views of their peers and are the ‘voice’ of the children. Their ideas, concerns and feedback are shared with Mrs Butcher. Together they make decisions about key school issues.

Over the past year, the School Council have been active in their role to make our school a better place. Our main focus last year was the wellbeing and mental health of others. We are going to continue on this journey this academic year and discover ways to support each other whilst raising the awareness of wellbeing and mental health further in and around our school. 

Arnett Hills are also part of the Three Rivers Student Council Forum. 

We also work closely with other school council teams across the Three Rivers district. This is a really good way to showcase and share what other schools are working on within their council and what they are doing to help improve their school. Part of our work this year will be planning ahead for a School Council Democratic Event at the Three Rivers District Council Offices in March 2026.
