At King Edward’s, the Student Leadership Council (SLC) plays a key role in ensuring student voice is heard, valued, and acted upon.
The SLC replaces the previous Student Union model and introduces a refreshed approach to student leadership. Members apply for clearly defined roles and are appointed through a structured process that includes an application, interview, and student vote. This ensures representatives are committed, accountable and ready to take on meaningful responsibility.
The Student Leadership Council is made up of students who focus on specific areas of college life, including events and activities, communication, community and charity work, and student wellbeing. By working together, the Council helps shape initiatives, support college-wide events and contribute to discussions that impact the student experience.
Students in Year 12 can apply to join the Shadow Student Leadership Council part-way through the academic year. Shadow members observe and support the work of the Council before stepping into full roles the following year, ensuring continuity and effective student leadership.
The Student Leadership Council works closely with college staff and leadership teams to share student priorities, provide feedback and support positive change across the college community.
If you have an idea, concern or suggestion, the Student Leadership Council is here to listen and help your voice be heard.

‘Being part of the Student Union has truly shaped my college experience and helped me grow both personally and professionally. I’ve loved working alongside the rest of the SU and the wider college community to plan exciting, inclusive events that bring people together.
I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve as Chair—it’s allowed me to make a meaningful, positive impact on our college. Thank you to the entire Student Union team for making my time here so fun, fulfilling, and unique.’
