The School Council

The School Council 

The School Council is a democratically elected panel of students, each representing their Year Group respectively. Each Year Group returns one boy and one girl to represent their year until the end of that person's time at the school. Most representatives will have been elected, by a secret whole-year ballot, in Year 7.

 

The School Council can claim a string of successes since its formation in early 2006 and holds close links with the senior management, teaching staff and the governing body of the school.

 

School Council Members

Meet some of our School Council:

Beth Gordan, Jenny Hopps, Beth Wilby, Jordan

The Council has its own constitution, which ensures it meets on a regular basis and that meetings are fairly and democratically run. A copy of the constitution can be obtained on this page.

The School Council can be contacted using the main school office and students can speak to their form group representative, who will take it to their Year Council. The Year Council will, in turn, propose this suggestion to the School Council via the year representatives.

Currently the School Council are looking at issues that have come to light from the student survey.  They are also looking to resolve litter problems and once again the meals offered at school.
