The Senedd
Pupils are at the heart of our school community. They are our CYMDEITHAS. Our Senedd gives pupils a meaningful voice in how their school is run. It helps children and young people share their ideas, raise concerns, and work with staff to make positive changes. Being part of the Senedd builds confidence, leadership, and communication skills, while helping pupils learn about responsibility and teamwork. Most importantly, it ensures that decisions made in school reflect what matters to the pupils themselves, creating a happier, more inclusive school community.
The school Senedd sits in the middle of all school planning and evaluation. The Senedd is well represented and includes delegates from all aspects of school life.
Pupil Voices include:
| Registration Groups | Year Groups | Prefects | Peer Mentors |
| Eco Club | Drama Group | Choir | Military Families |
| Young Carers | LGBTQ+ | Anti Bullying Ambassadors | Sports Ambassadors |
| LSC | ALN | Librarians | Senior Prefect Team |
Pupils who feel that they want a voice and who are active participants of the school community.
These groups ensure every child is represented and feels part of the whole school community and not just a subgroup. This is important as we want all pupils to have a shared purpose and embody the school values.
The Senedd therefore works towards ensuring school is a place where pupils can be:
- Respectful
- Kind
- Resilient
- Empathetic
- Ambitious
- Responsible
- Motivated
- Curious
- Independent
Members of the Senedd are elected by their peers and meet twice termly. The Senedd is led by elected leads who meet with peers and staff to inform meeting agendas which are shaped by the Senedd’s Development Plan. This is set out in the initial AGM.
The Senedd use a variety of platforms to gain pupil voice. These include regular reflection times encouraged during registration periods, suggestion and thought boxes in the HOY offices, meetings between Form Representatives and Year Representatives, feedback from focus group meetings, pupil voice sessions with school staff in line with self-evaluation processes and pupil representation on school Governing Body.
