School Council
The Green Lane Student Council is made up of our excellent student representatives from each form and other students who are keen to be involved in school life. Our Student Council comes together once a week to discuss charity initiatives, such as our Christmas hampers, share ideas for school improvement, support their peers and more. The Student Council is excited for a productive year where students will contribute to the community and develop their leadership skills.
