Spring 2 Pupil Leadership Meeting

Today we came together for our Spring 2 Pupil Leadership Group meeting, and as always, it was a fantastic opportunity to hear directly from our pupils. It was a great meeting with lots of thoughtful discussion, honest feedback, and some brilliant ideas shared.

Our pupils continue to play a key role in shaping the school, and their voices are central to driving improvements. Following today’s meeting, a number of actions have been identified and will now be taken forward for discussion and review with the Senior Leadership Group (SLG).
