School Council
The school council is formed before the autumn half term holidays, and meets regularly to discuss improvements to the school, be it physically or structurally. It comprises two representatives from every school year (one male, one female) elected by the whole of the respective year, and two permanent members representing the local youth service (also pupils). The current representatives are Siriol Dafis and Hillary Nunn (yr 10) Elliw Dafydd (yr 9) and Alis Rees (yr 11). The council is mentored by the deputy headteacher, who is currently Mme Carol Izri.

At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty,
Kill’d with report that old man eloquent;—”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
