Student Council

Student Council

The student council is a group where student representatives can discuss and debate issues which affect the school and the wider school community.

They are elected annually by their fellow students in election week. Two representatives are elected per year group, with each form group nominating two candidates each for the election.

Purpose

The purpose of the student council is for school leaders to have an awareness of issues that are affecting students and to have an appreciation of student views in school policy.  In some circumstances, senior leaders in the school might involve the council in decision making.  The Student Council  also helps school leaders educate their year groups on wider significant issues that affect society and the world.

Structure

The Student Council meets at least twice a half term led by the Chair and Vice-Chair. They report a summary of their meetings to the Teacher Liaison to the Student Council and meet with the Headteacher once in the Autumn and Spring Term to discuss student opinions, concerns and initiatives.

Chair: Responsible for organising initiatives and policies.

Vice Chair: Responsible for assisting the Chair in their duties.

Year Group Councillors: two representatives from each year group are responsible for representing the interests of students in their year groups.  Councillors attend meetings and participate in debates and decision making.  They assist the Chair and Vice-Chair in their duties. Student Councillors can be identified by the student council badge and special tie they wear.
