Welcome to Hope CE Primary School Blog

Class 2 have been looking at persuasive writing and looking at advantages and disadvantages of school councils.

What do you think? Should all schools have a council?

If you don’t go to Hope School, we’d especially like to hear your views. Has your school got a council? What sort of things does it do?

Have your say here.
