Pupil Roles and Responsibilities

Here at Edward Worlledge, we value the contribution that all our pupils make to making our school an even better place to learn. Every child has a voice and they can share their ideas through School Council and Eco Committee. 

We also actively encourage pupil participation in school life through various roles and responsibilities. There are roles available for all ages groups, some are voted by their peers, some chosen by their teacher/our SLT and some require an application form. 

School Council representatives are voted from each class, they meet regularly to give student voice to the Principal. In this role pupils help to run and support the school to make changes for the better, they listen and take ideas/suggestions from their peers and feed this back during the meetings.
