Pupil Committees

Our Pupils

All pupils are encouraged to take on leadership roles within the school as well as within their learning. Older pupils get the opportunity to take on a leadership role during Buddies with a younger pupil.

At Bruntsfield, our pupils’ voice is important to us. Each year committees are elected by the children to be resprentatives for the:

  • Pupil Council
  • House Captains
  • Languages
  • Maths
  • Eco

  • Rights Respecters

In the foyer you will find display boards of some of these committees and information on their most recent projects.
