School Council
The school council is formed before the autumn half term holidays, and meets regularly to discuss improvements to the school, be it physically or structurally. It comprises two representatives from every school year (one male, one female) elected by the whole of the respective year, and two permanent members representing the local youth service (also pupils). The current representatives are Siriol Dafis and Hillary Nunn (yr 10) Elliw Dafydd (yr 9) and Alis Rees (yr 11). The council is mentored by the deputy headteacher, who is currently Mme Carol Izri.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or council:
“Dissonance between family and school, therefore, is not only inevitable in a changing society; it also helps to make children more malleable and responsive to a changing world. By the same token, one could say that absolute homogeneity between family and school would reflect a static, authoritarian society and discourage creative, adaptive development in children.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
