School Council and Pupil Leaders
School Council
Each class elects a school council representative at the beginning of the academic year, chosen by the young people in that class. Meetings are held every term, where representatives share feedback and ideas from their class on a chosen discussion topic. These topics are posed by the Chair of Governors, Headteacher or Head of School to the classes one week in advance of the meeting. To ensure everyone’s voice is heard, each class has a dedicated school council book, where their representative can record and bring forward any ideas or suggestions to be discussed at the meetings.

Pupil Leaders
At Fairmead School, young people are encouraged to take an active role in shaping and contributing to the school community through our Pupil Leadership Programme. Leadership opportunities provide meaningful experiences that develop confidence, responsibility, communication skills and independence while enabling young people to make a positive contribution to school life.
This year, we have strengthened and expanded our leadership offer by introducing clearly defined roles with specific responsibilities and expectations. Young people formally apply for positions and are supported to understand the importance of commitment, accountability and positive role modelling. Through these opportunities, young people develop valuable employability and leadership skills that will support them in adulthood.
