BRIGHT young things officially took their seats on their school council.

Mayor of Bolton Cllr Elaine Sherrington visited St Peter and St Paul's RC Primary School to present the new members of the body with their badges as at a special assembly.

Trish Grogan, headteacher, said the visit was wonderful for the pupils.

The new body will make decisions on issues affecting school and represent the young people and bring in new policies. Every year a special ceremony is held to welcome the children to their new position.
