Student Voice
Student Voice
Our student voice programme enables students to receive both formal and informal learning opportunities to develop individuals as leaders and improve skills such as communication, resilience, collaboration and leadership. They are involved in the processes and structures for student representation and the incorporation of students’ views into decision making in the life of the school.
Our Senior Student Leadership Group (SSLG) is at the core of our values within Maiden Erlegh School in Reading. This consists of the Head Students and the Senior Student leaders. The SSLG are committed individuals that work hard to develop key areas of the school.
Our Senior Leaders are in charge of one of 11 strands of student leadership, which are all overseen by the Head Students. The following roles are key in developing our school.
- STEM
- Arts
- Sports
- Reading
- Inclusion
- Wellbeing
- Culture
- Environmental
- Charity
- Extra-curricular and house support
- Opportunities
Our School Council consists of 3 students per year group for Year 7 to 10, one for each house (Griffin, Pheonix, Triton). These students will be voted for by their year group after putting their name forward in the Autumn term and will then work with the Head students to listen to feedback from their peers and make meaningful changes, while also coordinating House events for their peers.
As a school, we are very keen to develop our students into successful young adults that feel confident in going into the world of work and further education.
