Student Voice

We believe we have always encouraged our students to think for themselves and to appropriately and effectively express their opinions. We have moved increasingly towards particular structures, which further enhance this.

These include a formal School Council which is a democratic organisation representing all five year groups.

This council debates issues, which the students believe impinge upon them and whilst it also involves staff, its agendas are student not staff driven.

From September 2004, two student councillors have been co-opted as Associate Governors onto the school’s Governing Body. Farringdon is the first school in the L.E.A. to give such prominence to the student voice.

Peer mentoring programmes have been introduced and are benefiting many of our students. Through them, older students use their experiences, skills and growing maturity to support younger members of the school body.
