The School Council sits at the heart of Rokeby. It sees our boys working together for each other’s and the school’s good, making tangible changes in the process.
Every year, staff elect the Council, considering the boys’ views. The Council consists of ten Year 8 boys and is made up of:
• Head Boy and Deputy Head Boy
• The four Prefects
• The four House Captains
The School Council works with the class representatives from each Form and the Pre-Prep. This wider Council meets regularly with the form representatives to put forward ideas and discuss areas for improvement in the school, which are then discussed in the boys’ forms and classes.
The main Council meets with the Headmaster, Deputy Heads, or Head of Year 8 every two weeks to take these ideas forward. We have made many changes by involving the boys more in their school, and we see benefits across all age groups as the boys work together for the common good. Recent examples include changes to school lunches, refurbishment of some facilities, and new awards to celebrate the boys’ achievements.
