You have a voice here at Strode’s and Windsor College! We are committed to giving students the opportunity to have their say about how things are run. Here’s how you can get involved:
Student Union
All students are automatically members of the Student Union, giving them a voice in college matters. Students elect a new executive (student leaders) every year who you can raise issues with. Visit the Learner Voice page for Strode's or Windsor more information.
Ambassadors
We encourage students to be active citizens and as college ambassadors you can support us at cross-college events, such as Open Evenings. This will give you valuable experience for your CV or UCAS application and you will receive a formal certificate of your volunteering hours at the end of the year.

Tutor Reps
Every Core Studies group elects a representative to pass on feedback, ideas and suggestions about how the College is run. If you would like to be a Tutor Rep, your role will be to listen to these ideas and share other’s views at the Student Parliament, which meets three times a year.
