Student Voice

The aim of Student Voice in Amery Hill is to empower our students to express their views and opinions on their own educational journey. It provides them with a platform to reflect on and improve the school experience for the whole Amery Hill community and beyond.  Our goal is for our students to become global citizens in the future. Student Parliament is split into 5 student-led committees: Belonging, Community, Events and Charity, Learning and finally, Tutor Representatives. Each committee focuses on a different aspect of school life.

Belonging
The Belonging Committee is a group of students working hard to make sure that every member of the Amery Hill community feels valued and respected. Over the last 2 years they have worked with the incoming year 7’s to assess how well they have adjusted to secondary school and to provide assistance where needed. They have also worked with teachers to ensure that certain groups are better represented in lessons and that opportunities are not missed. They hope to do more this year to promote and celebrate the diversity within our School Community.

Community
The students within the Community Committee are focussed on making sure that Amery Hill is a force within the local community. They are looking to work with local organisations and companies on a more regular basis as well as getting involved in local initiatives.

Events and Charity
The Events and Charity run the now well-established Amery Hill Christmas Fayre each year. The Fayre raises money for the Salvation Army Present Appeal and coincides with the Christmas Food Bank drive. The Committee are also involved in Comic Relief, Children in Need and many other events that students enjoy throughout the school year.

Learning
Finally, the learning committee works with teachers and senior leaders to discuss and give feedback on whole school approaches to teaching and learning. We have an extremely dedicated team of students who are passionate about learning and have provided valuable input on strategies to move learning at Amery Hill forwards.

Student Parliament meets every half term to discuss progress on projects. Our Head Prefects attend Parliament meetings and lead the Tutor Representatives. This group is the ears and mouth of Student Voice. Informing the larger student body of everything their Committee Leaders and members are doing, and listening to any issues that students want to bring to Parliament.
