We take the views of our pupils very seriously and School Councils provide a regular opportunity for their voices to be heard.
Tutor Groups have an opportunity to engage with pupil voice, whether in the Lower School (Year 7, 8 and 9), Middle School (Years 10 and 11) or Upper School (Years 12 and 13). Representatives have the opportunity to meet with the Heads of Section, and with the leadership team, to discuss a wide variety of issues.
Pupils enjoy the opportunity to represent the views of their peers and year groups, to collaborate with others, and to feed back to their forms; and we find that these opportunities give the boys a much better understanding of the decision-making process, as well as fostering goodwill between pupils, support and teaching staff.
Major issues discussed have included changes to the timing of the school day, mental health and wellbeing initiatives, and the behaviour and rewards system. Pupil voice have instigated changes to the food offered in the Dining Hall and had input into the recent Masterplanning process, as well as keeping on top of the more day-to-day issues within the school.
