The School Council
The school has a long standing School Council which was originally established in 2002. It aims to provide a forum for pupils to become partners in their own education and make a positive contribution to the school environment and ethos. It aims to:
- Improve academic performance
- Reduce bullying and vandalism
- Reduce school exclusions
- Improve teacher-pupil relations
The Deputy Headteacher oversees the work of the council and arranges meetings, minutes and liaison with the Governor Pupils’ Committee and others affected by the Council’s work. The Council consists of 2 councilors per year group. The school does not currently have a school council due to the change from a science college to an academy.

At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty,
Kill’d with report that old man eloquent;—”
