Wolfreton is something of a leading light in school democracy. It's most impressive democratic institution is the School Senate, formed by the Head of PSHCE and Politics teacher Ian Richardson. The Senate is a fully-elected body, comprising representatives from all year groups. The Senate is often consulted by the School's Head Teacher and the Heads of faculties, and the senate often takes a major role in improvements for the School, such as lunchtime issues, charity events, and other school issues. |
