School Council

Introduction

The school council is a democratically elected group who represent the views of all school pupils. The council is fully involved in the life of the school and has, over the years, made large scale changes to how the school runs and is resourced. Please download the below document which lists a number of these school council initiatives and developments.

2. Each tutor group will have an annual election one month into the Autumn Term.
