Student Council 2025/2026

The Student Council at Llantwit Major School consists of representatives from each year group in Years 7-11.

Pupils on the council are selected by their peers in a democratic election process in the Autumn Term and meet on a regular basis to discuss student concerns and whole school improvement.

At Llantwit Major School we value and celebrate equality & diversity and therefore to be inclusive of our all our students we removed the structure of one boy and one girl per year group and votes were cast without access to student name and focused on student manifesto only.
