RCS Student Council is a group of students representing the student body, embodying the British values of democracy, mutual respect, and individual liberty. They are responsible for being the voice of their peers and take a leading role in decision-making and student voice, ensuring inclusivity and equal representation for all, regardless of protected characteristics such as gender, age, race, religion, or disability.

Councillors meet regularly with Key Stage Leads to discuss issues within the school community, address anything particularly affecting the student body, and debate solutions to these issues. This process reflects the importance of fairness and equality in decision-making.

Councillors play an essential role in representing the school ethos and student voice by communicating information about key events to their peers, encouraging participation and involvement, and helping to organise various events and activities throughout the school year, including charity fundraising events, social events, and extracurricular activities.

The School Council provides a fantastic opportunity for students to develop leadership, teamwork, and communication skills while promoting respect and understanding of the diverse needs of our school community. By working together to achieve common goals, members learn to co-operate effectively, express their ideas clearly and persuasively, and uphold values that celebrate the uniqueness of every individual. We are proud of the RCS Student Leadership Team!

Students interested in Student Leadership should speak to the relative Key Stage Lead (Mr Duckworth – KS3, Mrs Shaw – KS4) or Personal Development Lead – Miss Keogh (SLT Office).
