(Vice President)

Having worked hard over the last two terms, we have now set up a strong base for the student voice. Every form now has two representatives to put forward the form's ideas in the year meetings. Each year also has two year representatives to meet with the full school council and put these ideas forward. We have now met with all the form representatives 3 times in year council meetings, allowing us to gain a huge range of ideas to be put forward to the full school council. These ideas have been put together in an agenda for the first full council meeting to be held on the 30 th November. Sitting in on this will be Mr Keeling-Jones, Mr Fuller, Mr Moody and Mr Housden. This is the first real opportunity to develop these ideas and start to commit the council into working to improve the school.

With Mr Fuller, we are helping develop the KPI surveys, hoping to include a section involving the welfare within the school, hoping to improve and work on this as well as the academic side at Oakwood.

Being the first school council at Oakwood Park , it is important we set up a strong base that can be worked on and developed as our successors implement their own ideas and thoughts. It has been a little slow to get off the ground, but has now picked up and there is a huge amount of enthusiasm from both the staff and the students. We are grateful for all the help we receive and hope that the ideas of the students will make a difference in the very near future.

Cassie Holland

As Vice President of Oakwood Park’ Student Voice, Cassie is determined to develop Student Welfare within the school for the better. In despite of her hard work, Cassie remains one of the most approachable and enthusiastic members of the Sixth Form. She is a real asset to the school and she is a true joy to work with. And as if that is not enough, her cheeky smile follows her around OPGS!

Tom Entwistle

Tom started at Oakwood in Year 7 and has enjoyed everything about it. He is proud to be the president of the Student Voice and finds working closely with staff and pupils a great and rewarding aspect of this role. His hobbies include hair and food, but not to much of it. He hopes the work put in is reflected by improvements in the school.

Tom Slater

Tom is a very intelligent, high achieving guy who started in Year 7, from the start baffling both students and staff with his success. After achieving outstanding GCSE results, he shuffled into his role as Vice President. He is committed in all he does and aims high, hoping to study medicine at University. Overall a pretty clever kind of guy!
