The polling station at Bedford Primary was open for business on Monday 5th October when Years 2-6 voted on who they would like to represent them from their class on Bedford Primary School’s School Council. The school’s Hub building was transformed into the polling station, with private voting booths and a secret ballot box, to give the children a genuine voting experience.  Teachers discussed with their children the importance of having a voice and a vote and how we can help make important decisions with our votes. We also discussed how this was an integral part of our British values. The children waited patiently to enter the polling station and were excited to enter the booths with their voting slips ready to cast their votes. At the end of a busy afternoon of voting, the winning children were announced:

2S:  Jack G and Chelsea H

3C:  Ellis Mc and Isabella C

3W: Steven B and Maisie H

4A: Harry R and Liberty A

4D: Michael H and Rhianna S

5G: Luke F and Emilee M

5K: Finn M and Eleanor C

6F: Demi-Leigh R and Tayus T

6N: Evie McG and Thomas F

Well done to all those who took the time to make an application and run for the positions. The school council will have a busy year ahead of them!
