School Council
A Word From Your School Council
The School Council at Christ the Word Catholic School plays an important role in bringing together students to discuss ideas and make decisions about the school. This group consists of elected students to act as the Chair/Vice Chairperson from different key stages from KS2 to KS4. They meet regularly to talk about things that matter to the school community. By sharing ideas and listening to one another, everyone can work together toward making the school a better place for everyone. This helps to make sure that the voices of the students are heard and that they can contribute to how their school operates.
One of the main goals of the School Council is to improve students’ experiences at school. The members discuss various topics like school events, activities, and changes that could help students learn and grow. For instance, if students want to have more clubs or sports, they can bring these ideas to the council. The council then works together to organize these events or present the ideas to the school’s Senior Leadership Team. This way, students feel more involved in their school and can see that their opinions make a real difference.
The School Council also helps to build a sense of community within the school. When students from different year groups come together, they can share their thoughts and learn from each other. This connection is key to creating a friendly and welcoming environment for all. Additionally, by working on projects and organizing events, students develop important skills such as teamwork, leadership, and communication. These skills are valuable not just in school, but in life as well. Overall, the School Council at Christ The Word Catholic School is an essential part of the school, helping everyone feel connected and valued.

We are committed to provide every learner with a great education. Learners play an important role in helping us to do this by providing helpful and honest feedback. We listen to our learners and work with them to continually improve.
At Christ the Word Catholic School we encourage all of our students to feel valued and respected by the whole school community. The school will provide opportunities for our young leaders to develop a variety of skills such as communication, confidence and listening and provide the opportunities for our leaders to develop and flourish and be confident in representing their peer group.
There are many roles to suit different interests, including year group representatives, School Council members and representatives on the Governing Body.
Our School Council is made up of learners to express their opinions and raise issues with the staff and governors in the school. The School Council is involved in improving the school and their representatives attend governing body meetings and contribute to staff appointments.
