Student Voice is a student body council that engages pupils to bring about change and leadership inside and outside the school.

Student Voice helps share students’ ideas, interests, and concerns with pupils, Teachers and the Senior Leadership Team (SLT).

Student Voice helps raise funds for school-wide activities, including social events, community projects, helping people in need and school reform.

Many members learn skills that are an extension of their formal education here at Haydon. Student Voice involves pupils from years 7 to 13.

Student Voice consists of:

• Form Representatives of each form group at Haydon School (Form Reps)
• The Junior Leadership Team (JLT) - the senior part of Student Voice that works throughout the entire year
• The Interact Club – A student Rotary Club sponsored by The Rotary Club of Pinner
• Mr. Clarke (the Student Voice Coordinator at Haydon School)

The Form Representatives and the Junior Leadership Team meet termly in team meetings. Each team has a particular focus. The 3 teams are:

1. Consistency team – monitors rewards, achievement, and examines teaching and learning in the school

The Haydon School Interact Club is sponsored by The Rotary Club of Pinner, which provide support and guidance, but it is self-governing and self-supporting.

The club was opened in early 2017 by the Mayor of Hillingdon and high ranking members of the Rotary Club of Pinner.

Each year, the Interact club completes at least two community service projects, one of which furthers international understanding and goodwill.

Last year, the club raised over £500 for local and international charities. The local charity supported was Red Nose Day that helped victims of domestic violence. The international charity supported was the Burundi Education Fund, where money raised helped build a new 1 room school in Burundi. Haydon School now has a partnership with the only Interact Club in Burundi.

Through these efforts, Interactors develop a network of friendships with local and overseas clubs and learn the importance of:

• Developing leadership skills and personal integrity
• Demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others
• Understanding the value of individual responsibility and hard work
• Advancing international understanding and goodwill
