Student council report
The student council was set up to be the voice of students in school, so that students can play their part in raising issues that can contribute to improving the school.
Elections were held last term. so that students could choose their own representatives. Fifteen secondary school representatives were elected, one in each house in every year, and two primary representatives were elected from year 6.
Representatives met Mrs Cross and other senior teachers for the first time at the end of last term, to discuss a number of issues raised by the student body. These were:
- Starting a Christian Club
It was agreed that the chaplains would support students in setting one up for students of all faiths.
- Improving behaviour (specifically anti-bullying campaigns and peer mentor scheme).
A suggestion box will be placed in reception for students to offer suggestions as to how to improve behaviour and refer issues of bullying. Raffle tickets for good corridor behaviour will be reintroduced.
