Student Leadership

Having A Say In Primary School

In Primary, our School Council is a group of pupils elected by their peers to represent the opinions and issues raised by other pupils then communicate back to the Headteacher and Principal. The School Council can also take forward projects on behalf of the pupils, and be involved in planning these projects by being in charge of implementing changes around the school. Students will have focus group sessions where they will discuss which ideas are possible to implement. They also have a page in the yearbook documenting the changes they have made throughout the year.

The School Council will  present at a assemblies to inform their peers and raise awareness about issues facing the world. They also work as a team to fundraise for their chosen charity ‘Dew Drops’, developing their empathy and giving them an understanding social responsibility.

Initially, Primary students can become involved by expressing an interest with their teacher and putting themselves forward when the vote takes place. Once on the School Council the children meet fortnightly to discuss issues and ideas raised by their peers. They will sometimes meet with the Principal and Primary head to discuss how they can implement changes. The main benefit of school council is to give pupils a voice within school life, experience of decision making, team work and confidence building.

Leadership in the Secondary School

We know the importance of giving students the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, and we have a range of different ways to do this.

The Secondary Student Council

The Secondary Student Council is a vital part of our school community. The council is made up of all of our form representatives who are voted into their position by their peers. It meets every 2 weeks to discuss various different issues raised by the student body aiming to improve the school. It is also active in creating and leading school projects and schemes. Our council is currently considering ways in which we can help the school to become more environmentally friendly.

The ideas generated by the Student Council are delivered to the Senior Leadership Team.  By opening these levels of communication, we can ensure that students’ views and opinions are considered during the formulation and review of policies that are relevant to the student body.

2021-2022 Head Boy and Head Girl

We also have positions for Head Boy and Head Girl who have the task of leading the whole Secondary School student body and provide role models for the students to aspire to.
