The School Council meets once a month, or whenever they need to meet. The School Council is currently debating the School name ... Should we stay as ‘Clare Mount Specialist Sports College’, drop
the ‘Specialist’ or become ‘Clare Mount High School’.
There is 1 person per form across the school on the School Council.
These people are voted for by their form each year.
A number of people on the School Council are Peer Mentors. They help people, and run
activities at lunchtime.
The School Council members listen to ideas from their form and put them forward
Pupils at Clare Mount are encouraged to be leaders themselves and suggest trips and other events
