Proactive School Community Projects

The school offers a significant number of opportunities for students to participate in leadership roles and responsibilities via a comprehensive range of activities (Rotary, bullying, mentoring, library, human rights, charity etc) committees (Healthy eating, Sports), awareness weeks, charity groups which complement and support the School council. The calendar organised by the students and supported by school staff have daily events and meetings which highlights high levels of sustained year on year engagement. 

There are a wealth of leadership opportunities for students promoted via form tutor and class time. Prefects, Peer mentors, school council sub groups, anti bullying mentors demonstrate high levels of enthusiasm and participation beyond the formal curriculum.

“The school council is highly successful in engaging a wide range of pupils in its activities. This plays a key role in helping pupils to develop as confident, mature citizens” (ESTYN 2019)

The School Council and Proactive School Community projects and activities provides excellent opportunities for all pupils to have a strong voice, be ethically informed and demonstrate commitment and resilience to projects over time. These groups allow students to develop their leadership skills well and allows their peers to experience excellent leadership and organisational skills as modelled by them. We believe that this is a real strength of the school and the student council in collaboration with the Proactive School Community is highly effective in enhancing personal development. 

The school promotes extensive, inclusive opportunities for leadership participation (for students) as outlined through the School Council enrichment activities outlined in the Council calendar. Assemblies and Form Tutor time are used well to reinforce school ethos and values, provide opportunity to inform and discuss wellbeing issues and celebrate achievement.
