TED Team

Our school council is called the T.E.D team.  T.E.D. is an acronym for ‘Together Everyone Decides’.  Our name emphasises the importance of their role in gathering ideas from their peers on what needs improving in the school, including the way things are run and organised.   By ensuring the children’s ideas and thoughts model the ways in which we do things in school, gives us the best opportunity to make their time here valuable and happy.

We have two TED representatives from each class in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. There is a dedicated TED team board within the school which details who is in the TED team currently, as well as displaying details of what the team have been involved in over this school year and previously.

Each year, the TED team writes their own version of the School Development Plan, discussing and sharing their ideas to support the school priorities. Their latest School Development Plan can be viewed here.

Last year our TED Team attended the CACoT Children’s forum along with school council representatives from other CACoT schools, to generate ideas for improving opportunities for physical activity throughout the school day which will help to promote and maintain healthy hearts and healthy minds for us all. From this, the TED Team sought further ideas from their peers in school before settling on the decision to create posters for the playground with a variety of games that can be played to keep everyone active. They raised over £180 from a cake sale which was used to purchase hard wearing posters for our playground.

Our TED team representatives are voted in by their class peers and will change each year.  Sometimes additional children are needed to support the work of the team and therefore opportunities for others to make contributions will be available.   If you would like further information about the TED Team’s role and responsibilities, please speak to Mrs Humphreys (Sunbeams teacher).
