Here at Landgate we pride ourselves in listening to the opinions and views of the learners and their families, our dedicated Student Council is a fine example of this.

Our aim is to help make a difference in our school and our local community.

Our Student Council representatives- two learners from each class in KS2 and KS3, two learners across KS4 and two learners in KS5. (KS1 consists of one learner from each class and the meetings are aimed more at a play-based student voice session that links to their learning styles and curriculum approach). The Student Council is elected at the beginning of each academic year and representatives carry out this role throughout that year.

Representatives attend meetings at least once every month which throughout the year means they attend a minimum of two ever half term. Within these meetings we share ideas and information, plan and organize future projects/ campaigns and take any ideas forward.

The student council are hoping to achieve the UNICEF Rights Respecting School Award Bronze which puts children’s rights at the heart of the school’s in the UK. The award showcases a school’s achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of The Child into practice within the school.
