General Information:
The School Council members were elected in early September allowing for a Training Day to take place so that new members could learn about the purpose of the Council and understand their roles and responsibilities.
The School Council meets once a month on a pre-set date and time. Discussions at Council are fed back to the rest of the college through the School Council noticeboard. The senior council members also feedback the work of the Council to SMT and the Board of Governors.
