Student Council

Student Council Mission Statement:

The David Nieper Academy Student Council holds the belief that successful education requires active participation from staff, students and governors of the academy, parents and carers in the home and members of the local community.

We believe that effective relationships are promoted through consultation, collaboration and open communication.

Purpose of the Student Council:

The purpose of the Student Council is to encourage pupils to get involved in issues that concern them in and around the academy.

As a council we focus on listening to the views of pupils and we take responsibility for some aspects of academy life.
