Little Governors
‘Little Governors’ is the active voice of our school, offering opinions and ideas that affect us at school and endeavouring to help others in the community, whilst considering our British Values, School Values and the Bee Rules.
To become a Little Governor we had to say that we were interested in the role. Then votes took place in the classroom before having a mini interview with Mrs Priestley.
Newdigate Little Governors:
- We represent all the children in our school.
- We want to make sure our school is a safe and a happy place for all children whatever their faiths or beliefs.
- We take time to listen to the children and gather their opinions through questionnaires, suggestion boxes and votes.
- We try to make it happen or explain why we can’t.
- We feedback to pupils to let them know what has happened about their views.
- We offer our own ideas and respect each other’s opinions
Being an active Little Governor helps us to develop our self-confidence and important skills such as: listening, getting your point across, negotiating, organising and working as a team.
On the 8th October 2024 we met and talked about how we can raise money for Karithika. The ideas were
- A cake sale
- Selling old toys
- Having a clothes sale
We decided to design our own t-shirts and sell them! The whole school worked incredibly hard to design and make beautiful t-shirts. Children also donated clothes they no longer wear anymore.
On the 15th January 2025, the Little Governors hosted the clothes sale with the T-Shirts and donated clothes. The whole school supported the cause and we sold out of ALL T-Shirts.
We are so proud of our Little Governors who stood up and made a change!
