I was at de Stafford school last week to have a look round the school during term-time and act as the returning officer for the results in their annual polling day. The whole concept of a polling day was a great idea - and congratulations to all who took part, and to those who were ultimately elected!
One of the great things about the elections was that they give the students a real opportunity to get involved in shaping the direction of the school. For example, I believe there‘s plan for a new school canteen, and those who've been elected are going to take a leading role in developing this as it progresses. The whole thing was very well organised with lots of people taking, and now those elected have got the chance to use the power they've been given to represent their classmates and their views.
