Our Student Council presents pupils with the opportunity to learn about effective self-government, develop good communication skills and take responsibility for developing social and community responsibilities.

The Student Council consists of two elected members from each of our three year groups - Lower, Middle and Senior. The boys meet each half term to discuss issues raised by their peers. They are also expected to play a high profile role in support of their peers throughout the school day.

Through the Student Council, boys are able to

• develop leadership skills
• refine their competence as communicators
• help foster a school spirit and pride
• build supportive working relationships with each other and the staff team
• take opportunities to represent and express the personal views and the interests of their peers to the benefit of the entire school community.

Becoming a member of the Student Council is a very sought after and common aspiration for pupils at St Edward's, and is indicative of the 'sense of belonging' that we hope each boy shares with us. The positive contributions made by the pupils serving the School Council are recognised and celebrated by all those involved with St Edward's and are rightly considered an extremely vibrant and successful aspect of our community.
