Our student-led School Council provides brilliant leadership opportunities and a chance for students from all year groups to have their say in how the School is run.
School Council meetings are held once every half term during a working lunch and are led by a Sixth Form Prefect.
Meetings can focus on particular topics or raise issues that have been brought to student reps’ attention by their year group – no matter is too small or too big to be discussed. Recent topics have included the School’s improvement of environmental and sustainable practices; race in the classroom; and the Personal Development curriculum.
Several clubs and societies act as a sub-committees to inform and contribute to the School Council, allowing further work in specific areas, for example:
- The Eco Committee which, in collaboration with our staff Sustainability Champion, aims to make the School more environmentally sustainable and students more aware. This is led by the Eco Prefect.
- The Equality and Diversity and Inclusion group is led by the EDI Prefect. This group works closely with the Pastoral Deputy Head to discuss and act to ensure all members of our community are valued regardless of race, culture, religion or any other protected characteristic.
- And, the Pride Club which forms a supportive, social hub for the School’s LGBTQ+ community.
