Our School Council plays a key role within their classes and across the school. The children become School Councillors by being voted for by their classmates. They have a range of roles across the school. As well as helping with fundraising both for our school and selected charities, they are also the spokespeople for ensuring the children's views and opinions in our school are heard. They achieve this by sharing any issues, questions or ideas with Mrs Ford, our Headteacher, as well as other staff across the school.

Our Eco-School Council also plays a key role within their classes and around the school.  We are delighted to announce that Stepgates Community School achieved the Green Flag in July 2022 for Eco-Schools. We are now looking for a new Eco-Schools team for 2026-2027, to continue our good work. Representatives for this are elected within their classes and will attend meetings together across the year, planning events and projects to improve our understanding of our environmental impact. Eco-Schools representatives will be elected shortly.  

Their aim is to guide, empower and motivate fellow pupils to drive change and improve environmental awareness in our school, the local community and beyond.

The Stepgates Community School Eco Code will be:

• To improve biodiversity by making bigger, brighter homes for birds, bugs, bees, bats and butterflies
• To make Stepgates special by sustaining our nature space
• To leave litter louts out; we won't let litter touch the ground, pick it up if it is found!

Our Eco-Schools Council representatives for 2026–2027 have been elected. The children become School Councillors by being voted by their classmates to be their Eco-Schools Council representatives for the year.
