Student Leadership
At Trafalgar School, we pride ourselves on giving students every opportunity to voice their opinions within a respectful environment.
We also offer many different routes within Student Leadership in order for students to contribute to the well-being and development of the school at all stages of their careers. Students are encouraged to contribute formally and informally through a variety of democratic structures; from council meetings to student surveys.

Aims:
- To offer a range of roles and responsibilities to the student population
- To promote active citizenship by establishing functioning democratic bodies and systems with real influence
- To deepen student engagement
- To contribute to whole school improvement
