At Abertillery Comprehensive, we are very proud of the work that our school council does. Each form has two form representatives, that are chosen by members of the form. These representatives form the Year Group Council and representatives from each year group form the School Council.

If a pupil has an issue, contact is made initially at form level and then discussed by the pupils at year-group level.

School council members sit in at meetings of our governing body and take an active part in the selection process for new members of staff.
