Student Voice

At Amery Hill, the Student Voice and Student Parliament programmes are designed to empower students and give them a direct say in their own education. These initiatives provide a crucial platform for students to share their opinions, offer feedback, and actively contribute to the improvement of their school experience and the wider community. Our ultimate goal is to help students become well-rounded, engaged global citizens.

 

Student Voice

The Student Voice program is comprised of two distinct, student-led committees: Events and Charities and Learning. Both committees are open to volunteers from the entire student body, ensuring a wide range of perspectives are heard.

  • Events and Charities: This committee is responsible for planning, organising, and running various school-wide events throughout the year. The students on this committee work in smaller groups, each tasked with a specific event. A key example is the well-established Christmas Fayre, which not only brings a festive spirit to the student body but also allows students to raise money and support a chosen charity. This provides a hands-on experience in event management, fundraising, and community support.

  • Learning: The Learning committee works closely with teachers and senior school leaders to discuss and provide valuable feedback on new approaches to teaching and learning. The students on this committee are passionate about education and have provided crucial input that has helped shape and improve learning strategies at Amery Hill. Their work ensures that the curriculum and teaching methods are effective and engaging from a student's perspective.

 

Student Parliament

The Student Parliament is a representative body, with each tutor group in the school electing a representative to attend meetings. This group meets every half term and serves as a vital link between the student body and the teachers and school management. Head Prefects lead these meetings, guiding discussions and ensuring all student representatives have a chance to voice their group's opinions.

The Parliament's primary role is to act as a conduit, making sure that both students and staff are aware of each other's work, concerns, and successes. This open line of communication ensures that student feedback is heard by school leaders and that students are kept informed about new initiatives. Additionally, the Parliament plays a key role in communicating the work of the Student Voice committees and details about charity events to the wider student body.
