Agenda:
1. Agenda points raised from discussions with peer group:
 Wi-fi
-MR has spoken to Director of ICT and as yet there is no
concrete date as to when this will be available for pupil use.
Policies and security for its use still need to be written and
agreed.
 Parking
-MR spoke to PHS about this and at present there is neither
a plan or a willingness to let pupils park on site. This is
partly due to a lack of parking space already and due to
Health and Safety issues.
 Board games
-Senior Sixth Form team are more than happy for pupils to
bring in board games that they can use during free time.
Sixth Form team to source a box/trunk for these to be kept
in.
 Paper Cup
-Plea form Mimi and the rest of the Environmental Action
Group for paper cups to be replaced in the Sixth Form centre.
The café team have said that they will do their best t clean and
restock stores of the plastic cups as regularly as possible so
that disposable cups don’t need to be used.
 Assemblies (new arrangements)
-Explanation of new leaving arrangements for whols school
assemblies and use of PP to give notices in sector assemblies.
2. Thefts
-Discussion about the recent spate of thefts form Sixth Form centre and
specifically the girls’ toilets. Pupils discussed when they thought these thefts
were taking place and ways of trying to stop them. Ideas included:
-Raising awareness amongst pupils of the need to be more careful
with valuables.
-Increasing the use of lockable lockers outside PHS office.
-If thefts continue, bring police in to talk to Sixth Form which may
show the culprit how seriously their actions are being taken.
-Improve security in and out of Sixth Form centre (particulalrly
post 4.15pm) by introducing swipe cards/key pads to external
doors.
3. Feedback from School Council
-School council will be opening the equipment store in the B block in the
next couple of weeks.
-Explanation of how it will work with equipment being signed out and then
in after use. Prefects on grounds duty to oversee the store.
4. AOB
-Frustration amongst the Sixth Form that a number fo useful websites
continue to be blocked from use by pupils. Tasha to go and speak to ICT
department about the possibility of getting these unblocked.

Agenda:
1.
Feedback from last meeting:
-Tasha has spoken to ICT and they have unblocked a number fo the websites
asked for by Tasha. Explanation that they hadn’t unblocked some of the student
chat rooms as these aren’t acceptable under the school’s ICT policy.
Thefts
-Thefts appeared to have stopped. No culprit has been found but action taken by
school and pupils seems to be working. Forum members to encourage continued
vigilance amongst their form groups.
2.
Bus shelter
-Discussion of proposal for a new bus shelter to be built near sports hall.
Drawings discussed and pupil feedback given. General consensus was that this was
a bit of a waste of money and that the school could be spending the funds
elsewhere i.e. pupils entertainment-fixed outdoor tennis table tables/playground
style equipment for younger years to use.
3.
Notice boards/photos-Holbeche and wider school community
-Amelia raised the point that the boards in the Holbeche Centre have a large
number of photos form pupils in younger years left there following open morning.
These need to be removed and replaced with more relevant photos/information
for the Sixth Form. MR to speak to PHS about this.
4.
Food in the café (salads)
-Flossie has spoken to café staff and they are now preparing and serving more
salads at lunchtime. These can be pre-ordered at break time so that they are
ready for collection at lunchtime.
5.
Feedback from form regarding inter-form sports competition
-Feedback was generally positive and netball seen as the most suitable activity for
all form groups to get involved. MR to plan a schedule for Sixth Form netball
competition.
6.
Canteen issues
-Mimi raised several issues with vegetarian options/quality of food in canteen.
Mimi to take these issues and discuss them with the Head of Catering.
7.

continue to encourage peers to bring in more games.

Agenda:
1. Awards Assembly
Pupil suggestions discussed as to how awards assembly could be changed to make it
shorter, more interactive and more interesting.
Suggestions included:
-Awards to be put onto PP and shown on big screen in sports hall so that they don’t
need to be read through in such a time consuming way.
-Review of each team’s season to be kept much more brief with more detail being
given in Sector Assemblies if this was felt necessary.
-Pupils thought the idea of 1st team captains taking a much bigger role was nice. All
thought that they should be involved in handing out MI and POS awards to younger
pupils and some liked the idea of the captains giving the season review to the whole
school.
-End of term reports to focus more on the teams that have achieved real success or
those that have improved considerably rather then the same amount being said
about each team irrespective of success, effort and commitment.
-Pupils thought it was important to still give out MI and POS season awards in front
of whole school rather than in sector assemblies.
-MR to feedback these thoughts to PE department and CAL when they are discussed
in a PE department next week.
2. AOB
-No AOB discussed.
