Pupil Voice

Pupil Leadership and School Council

At Kerem, we believe that children thrive when they feel heard, valued and empowered to initiate change. Our pupil leadership structure gives children the opportunity to share ideas, represent others, raise concerns, and help shape school life in meaningful ways.

Kerem School Council is led by our Joint Head Prefects. We also have two Wellbeing Prefects and two Jewish Studies Prefects, who work alongside House Prefects representing each of our four houses. Together, they act as a link between pupils and staff, gathering ideas, sharing feedback, and helping to make our school an even better place to learn and grow.
Being a Prefect at Kerem about service, not status. Kerem Prefects grow in confidence, communication skills, leadership and teamwork by listening, acting responsibly, and contributing positively to their school and the world beyond it.

Kerem Cares: Our Charity Committees

Alongside the School Council, pupils can also take part in one of our three Charity Committees.  Each committee is pupil-led, with adult guidance, and children are encouraged to take ownership of projects from idea to action.

Two children from each class are voted in by their classmates to represent their views; they meet fortnightly to discuss ideas, plan projects and work together to make a positive difference for our school and community.
