The two class representatives (to be elected annually) to act as Chairperson and Secretary (guided by the Form Prefect). Their role is to run the class meetings by: publishing an agenda in advance,

  • Chairing the meetings,
  • writing and publishing minutes – copies on notice board, to Pastoral Leader and Deputy Head
  • taking forward items for the Year Council,
  • providing feedback to the class from the Year Council.

Items for discussion should include:

  • issues relevant to their form – discussed and resolved within the class if possible,
  • issues relevant to the year group – discussed with possible solutions and taken forward for the Year Council to consider.
  • issues relevant to the whole school – discussed with possible solutions and taken forward for the Year Council to consider.

Year Council

To meet half-termly (apart from summer term) during normal Assembly time.

Each Year Council to have Head of Year in attendance. Each Year Council to elect two representatives who will act as Chairperson and Secretary and sit on the full School Council. Their role is to:

  • Chair the meetings,
  • publish an agenda to be posted on the Council Notice Board,
  • write and publish minutes of the meetings – copies to Pastoral Leader and Deputy Head
  • take forward items for the agenda for the full School Council.

Class representatives should present their items at the Year Council with good reasons for their consideration to be taken forward to the full School Council. The Year Council should decide which issues should be taken forward to be included on the full School Council (usually two). Any issues involving those Year groups present may be resolved by the Year Council.
