At Bryn Tirion Hall School, our pupil voice is at the centre of what we do. Our pupils have a say in what they learn, how they learn it and where it will take them. BTH’s School Council is fundamental to this process.

Why are School Council important?

In order for learning to take place, facts and processes need to be relevant, fun and relatable. Our School Council is the communication bridge between their peers and those who make the decisions on BTH’s future. We have found that peer to peer talks result in honest and enriching feedback, which allows us to ensure we are meeting our pupils’ needs. These roles also give our young people the opportunity to contribute to their school in a meaningful and productive way, allowing them to experience a leadership role in a safe environment.

What do they do?

Bryn Tirion Hall School’s School Council is a valuable point of contact for pupils to voice their thoughts about what they are learning and their pupil experience.

It’s their job to question their peers about what’s working for them, and what isn’t. They also ask for suggestions for lesson content and delivery, for example, do pupils want more time in the outside classroom? Once they have answers and suggestions, they liaise with appointed staff members to feedback and add their thoughts. From here, staff consider each point and work with the School Council to implement the changes.

The School Council also gets involved with raising money and awareness days, helping with organisation and delivery.

Becoming a Leader

If you are interested in becoming a member of the School Council have a quick chat with Nicola Whitfield-Small.

What have they been up to?

This academic year School Council members met once a week to discuss pressing matters linked to school priorities, awareness days, and environmental issues. We worked towards developing the outdoor area for all pupils, not just those who enjoy a game of football! The School Council felt this would help them improve their learning and progress as they would enjoy their free time more and develop their social skills.

School Council lead on the Harvest Festival collection this year, donating goods to our local Foodbank and finding out from staff at the food bank about the process of donations and how our goods support families in need.

The council was also instrumental in our Diwrned Shwmae/Su’mae celebrations, with the vice president supporting the preparations for the celebration day to show our commitment as a school to the Welsh language and culture.

The team also met with Tom, our Deputy Safeguarding Officer, at Wrexham University to learn about safeguarding within our school. They will now develop a pupil survey to share with all pupils to identify key priorities and inform the next stages of strengthening our school’s safeguarding protocols. All these events and more can bee seen on our NEWS page.

“Our School Council empowers pupils to take an active role in school life by sharing ideas, contributing to decision-making, and helping to shape a positive and inclusive environment where every member of our school community feels respected and valued.”

Sarah Majid,
Vice Principal

“The School Council gives pupils a voice, helping everyone feel heard. It allows students to share opinions, make suggestions, and work together with staff to make positive changes for everyone.”
