Students are introduced to the concept of ‘democracy’ and ‘voting’ by participating in Student Council elections and engaging in a wide range of discussions through the following:

• Student voice and members of the student council are encouraged to vote on key issues that are likely to affect their peers as well as bringing their own proposals to staff for consideration.
• Co-op Young Leaders programme teaches students how to effectively represent their peers 
• PSHCE, Coaching and RS  and History curriculum students become politically aware and participate in debates concerning age-appropriate issues
• English Literature where the importance of democracy and/or freedom of speech is either explicit or underlying theme in text
