School Council

Our school council meets once a month on a Wednesday. We discuss matters concerned with improving our school life. There are two representatives from each class who get voted in, in September and stay on the school council for a year. There are four jobs in the school council, as well as being a representative. These are: Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer.

So far, we have introduced water machines around school, better lunch choices and a different uniform for post 16.

We recently went to London to visit the Houses of Parliament. We watched the proceedings in the House of Commons and the House of Lords and saw how democracy works, a bit like our school council.
