STUDENT LIFE
Student Leadership & Clubs
In an established school, a child joins a club. In a founding cohort, they start one.
Every club at this school is currently unfounded. That is not a gap. It is the offer.

A child asks, and a teacher says yes
Robotics, debate, eco-club, choir, chess — the usual excellent list, and we will run them. But the ones that matter most in a first year are the ones nobody planned.
A child who wants a club they cannot find brings it to their class teacher. If there is a room, a slot and an adult willing to sit in it, it exists — and they are its first president, at the top of a list that will run for decades.
Writing its own remit, not inheriting one
Most councils inherit a constitution written by adults a decade earlier. Ours settles these — children who are eleven at the oldest.
What are the houses called?
Four names, chosen once, that every child after them will be sorted into and will compete for.
How does break time work?
Who gets which pitch, when the field is shared, and what happens to a child standing on their own at the edge of it.
What can a council put to the Head?
The limits of their own remit — which is to say, how much of this school its children are genuinely allowed to change.
