On Wednesday 24th April, the school council met with the chief executive of Sandwell council, Shokat Lal. The councillors held a debate that Shokat and his team were able to watch, discussing the importance of school uniform. The council divided themselves and shared arguments around the topic. Shokat was very impressed by the children’s points and their behaviour. Some of the children were able to share why they like living in Sandwell, ask questions and hear about Shokat’s role. Thank you to all of the councillors for their hard work!
