The Ex-pupils Advisory Group
We have looked to strengthen the support we offer by learning from our ex-pupils.
The newly formed Ex-pupils Advisory
Group comprises eight adults (former
pupils) from across the decades since
the school opened. They meet to discuss
the work of the school and the charity’s
services and provide advice, through
the lens of their experience, to help us
improve our offer, both to current pupils
and families and to those who have left.
‘Being a member of the
Ex-pupil’s Advisory Group
is very rewarding. Sharing
life experiences with other
ex-pupils, and bonding over
our childhood adversities,
is very cathartic.’
