Family Assembly
At St Martin's, we believe all children should have a voice. By having termly family assemblies, led by our Year 6 children, all children have the opportunity to discuss school events, celebrate individual achievements and have a voice about what is happening in their school community.
Each assembly will have a British Value focus as well as a key question linked to our school community or environment.

British Value Focus: Democracy
Discussion Question: What is your favourite part of OPAL play? What would you like to keep or change?
School Council Visit to Westminster Houses of Parliament: On 25th March the School Council had an amazing trip to London to visit the Houses of Parliament. As part of their tour, they visited different areas of the building. The Council looked at both the House of Commons and House of Lords. They even walked in the footsteps of the Monarch by visiting the King's robing room and also had the privilege of seeing Westminster Hall where the Queen lay in state. Alongside this, the children had an amazing workshop where they practiced how laws are voted for in the House of Commons. The pupils also had a visit from their local MP, John Penrose, who gave them a rundown of his job and very kindly answered many of their questions. The behaviour of the children was exemplary and they really did the school proud.
St George's Nursing Home Visit on 8th June:
St Martin's School Council visited St George's Nursing Home where councillors spent time with the local residents. Alongside the residents, Councillors completed a range of Arts and Craft activities as well as decorating (and eating) biscuits. The staff at the nursing home commented on how well behaved, polite and caring the children were and that they are a credit to St Martin's. Well done school council, fantastic job!
