Student Voice / Government

We know that many of our students have passionate views about their School, their place within it, and indeed about the world beyond. We want those passions to have a voice. We also know that many of our students have real leadership talents, and others are always looking for ways to develop their leadership skills. We want our students to believe, as we do, that democracy and the democratic process is the best way to get their voices heard, and their ideas put into action.

At Gable Hall we have both a student voice group (Years 7-11) and a sixth form leadership group (Years 12 and 13), including Head Boy, Head Girl and their deputies.

We are extremely happy to announce our new Head Girl and Head Boy for Gable Hall School for the 2024-2025 academic year! After a rigorous interview process and an inspiring assembly where students presented their visions, we were truly impressed by all the applicants. We are pleased to announce the following appointments:

Head Girl: Amelia Cox

Deputy Head Girl: Summer Lockwood

Head Boy: Gabriel Beck

Deputy Head Boy: William Hayward

Congratulations to all of them! We look forward to a fantastic year ahead under their leadership.

Student Voice - The student voice group is comprised of subgroups such as LGBTQ+, Environment, Culture and Diversity and SEND. In their regular half termly meetings they discuss pressing issues which may be affecting Gable Hall.
