SJF School Council Elections 2019

Back to News
8th Sep 2019

Elections for the 2019-2020 SJF School Council take place on Wednesday 11th September 2019.

To ensure fairness and the widest possible participation, pupils can serve on the school council for a maximum of two terms during their time at SJF, but not in two consecutive years.

The pupils in Years 1-5 will elect their councillors via a class vote following short hustings during which candidates will share their motivations and ideas and answer questions from classmates.

In Y6, all eligible children can put themselves forward for election for one of the four Y6 roles:

  • Chairperson
  • Vice-Chairperson
  • Treasurer
  • Secretary

There will be hustings in front of the school, with questions followed by a general election in which pupils in all classes will vote for their preferred Y6 candidates.

A polling station set up in school on Wednesday and the ballot will be secret (and privacy respected) so that the democratic process mirrors what happens in real life.

The Y6 candidate receiving the most votes will be given first choice of the four key roles available. The candidate who polls the second highest number of votes will then choose from the three roles left – and so on until all four positions are filled.

All the successful candidates will then be announced and presented to the school at the end of Celebration Assembly on Friday and our sincere thanks will be shared with them and all the children who took part.
