The purpose of our student council is to give pupils a voice and improve communication between pupils and staff of the school. Through the Student Council, pupils play a positive role in school and ensure they are listened to and respected for their ideas and concerns; it involves pupils in many of the decisions made regarding day-to-day running and management of the school. Discussions/agendas at council meetings are minuted and put onto the agenda of Senior Leadership Team meetings to be discussed/acted upon at management level. The process helps to develop our pupils' social and learning skills in many areas such as speaking and listening, problem solving and decision-making.
The Student Council plays an important role in decision making. These include:
- Discipline
- Rewards and sanctions
- Extra-curricular activities
- Improvement of lunch provisions
- Educational trips
- Learning activities
- Uniform
- School rules
- Anti-bullying initiatives
