Young People’s Voice
STUDENT VOICE AND STUDENT COUNCIL
Part of the school’s ethos is to promote self- belief therefore we are fully committed to helping students have their say, to have a platform to air what they would like to see in school and to develop improvements to continue with good attendance, better understanding and communication, and enhance their academic prowess. We are proud of the achievements and progress the students have made since the start of the new academic year, and we will endeavour to listen and act going forward.
Our Student Council is part of Eton Dorney’s commitment to give students a voice and to help all students make a positive contribution to school life. The Student Council represents the whole student body and is an excellent way to develop leadership and communication to encourage our students to be active citizens of the school community.
