For school council leads & teachers

A school council that
runs itself.

Pupils lead it, every child takes part, and their ideas turn into real change, without adding to your workload.

What a Smart School Council changes

The old school council
  • It eats your time and lands on you
  • No clear way to actually run it
  • Only a few heard, and their ideas fizzle out
A Smart School Council
  • Pupils run it, barely any of your time
  • A proven, done-for-you method
  • Every child heard, and ideas become real change
How it works

We make your school council smart: pupils lead the topics, everyone speaks up, and real change happens. Not a small committee, everyone is on the council.

Pupils lead it

The class meeting

Pupils run the meeting themselves, following a clear on-screen flow. It is short, and it barely touches your time.

Nothing to plan

Ready topics, packs and videos

Every meeting comes with ready-made topics, a debate pack and a short video, so there is nothing for you to prepare.

What school council leads say

★★★★★

It's no different really than clicking on a video. The children just take over. They do it for you.

Rachel Gray
Character Development Lead, Kells Lane Primary
★★★★★

Everyone feels this connectedness, that we're in this together and that everyone's voice matters.

PSHE lead, British International School Budapest
★★★★★

There's no added workload. It's all resourced. That's the biggest barrier removed.

Frequently asked questions

Does it take much of my time?

No. Pupils run the meeting themselves, it's short, and it's set up for you. Far less than a traditional council.

Do I have to plan anything?

No. Every meeting comes with ready-made topics, a debate pack and a short video. Just press play.

Which year groups does it work with?

Every stage, infant through primary, secondary, SEN and PRU. The format adapts to the class.

What if my pupils have never done this?

The videos and packs model it, and pupils pick it up quickly and take the lead.

Do all pupils take part, or just a school council?

The whole-class format means every child votes and adds their ideas, not just an elected few.
