Pupil Leadership

Pupil Voice and Leadership is an important part of day to day school activities and the school Community. The three main groups are The Pupil Leadership Team, The Pupil Council and the Prefects. Each group has a different role which is described below.

Pupil Leadership Team

The Pupil Leadership Team is a group of S6s who have gone through an election process to become your head and depute head pupils. They have many responsibilities around the school, including being a voice for pupils. At the start of the year they each created a manifesto and work to fulfill their policies. They also listen to pupils and try to improve the school through suggestions and issues brought to them. They often represent Knox Academy out in the community.

Pupil Council

The Pupil Council is a group of pupils who are elected by their peers. They are there to represent their year group and share any ideas or concerns they may have. They frequently have meetings with the pupil leadership team to ensure that all voices are heard. The pupil leadership team follows up on everything that’s discussed and tries to act on it. If you have any concerns you can speak to your representative in person or via their email below.
