The Student Council is a group of elected students from all year groups that represent the voice of their peers. The Council wants to help the students make a difference to the school and change it for the better. The Student Council is the stepping stone between students and the school Senior Leadership team, so we are a major voice to those who want to bring about change.
“When one person expresses their own opinion, it rarely changes anything. If a thousand students each express a different point of view it is impossible to listen to them all – so nothing changes! But if all the students speak with one voice, they give a clear message that everyone listens to, so change is possible.”
Quote: Student Councils UK
The Council meet every second Thursday to work on projects that help improve the school and its community and environment. Previous agenda items have been: Recycling, litter, cleanliness of toilets and lack of benches.
