Student Council

A school council is a formal group of pupils who act as representatives of their classmates in discussing school issues with the Headteacher and staff. It’s a brilliant way of representing and contributing to Pupil Voice in your school. Students are elected to represent the views of all pupils and also to improve their school. "School council" means all kinds of school-based groups run by students, including student forums and youth parliaments. They help to make decisions about how the school is run and take on projects that support the children’s learning and development, such as organising charity events, representing the school at outside events or ensuring the school is environmentally friendly. School councils are usually elected annually by the other children. A school council does a number of things:

A school council usually meets with a teacher present to discuss and sort out problems. These could include school lunches, behaviour or ideas for fundraising events.

Members of the school council are responsible for carrying out the ideas that have been agreed upon, writing newspaper articles, or meeting with catering staff.

Each year, every class will elect two representatives to be members of the school council.

Addison

My name is Addison. I am in Year 11 and I represent Redwood.

I enjoy playing FIFA in my spare time. The things I like about Kassia Academy are that teachers respect you. The classes are smaller so staff have more time to support you. I enjoy Bricklaying and all of the activities on the Duke of Edinburgh, such as Sailing and staying overnight in Wales.

Lewis

My name is Lewis. I am in year 9 and I represent Oaks.

I enjoy playing football in my own time and going out with my mates. I enjoy Kassia Academy because I get along with the staff better and also get more help with pretty much everything.

Kai

My name is Kai, I'm in year 10 and I represent Sycamore 1.

I like fishing, motorbiking and spending time with my mates. I like The Kassia Academy because it treats everyone fairly.

Tia

My name is Tia, I am 16 years old and I represent Sycamore 2.

I like long walks, colouring and being caring. I like The Kassia Academy because staff are really nice and understanding and they help with all additional needs.

Rugby is my favourite sport. I love my mates and my family.

This school is better than mainstream because I get so much help here.
