At our school, we believe every pupil's voice matters. Our School Pupil Senedd is made up of dedicated and enthusiastic representatives from each class who have been elected by their peers. They meet regularly to share ideas, discuss important school matters, and help make decisions that improve school life for everyone. From planning events to supporting school evaluation, our Senedd members are true leaders—making a big difference in our school community!
