The Voice

The voice is written by students

School Council

Our School Council is an essential element of our school with a focus on ensuring all students have a voice. It consists of two representatives from each year group. The representatives are elected by their peers at the start of every academic year. The School Council meet once every 4 weeks 

Form Representatives

Each year group also has their own strand of the School Council which consists of Form RepresentativesTwo representatives from each formeet weekly, The School Council organise and agree the agenda with students from Years 7-11 and Year 11 students chair School Council meetings. We empower the School Council to make a difference in the academy so that their words can achieve change.  

Action Groups

Each year group creates Action Groups who work to improve areas of the school that they feel are important to them, Action Groups usually evolve because of issues brought up at Form Representative and School Council Meetings. Students explore a wide range of topics including those linked to our school improvement plan:  developing an ambitious curriculum for all, high standards and high expectations and a well led and well organised school. 

We regularly consult with students on our student focused policies, including our uniform, behaviour, safeguarding and bullying policies. We also consult with students when we set our strategy for the academy and the Senior Leadership Team is represented at School Council meetings to hear their thoughts and views about the academy.
