Advisory Student Referendum
The student council has another temporary committee which stands on behalf of the upcoming advisory referendum. The necessity of representation has led to students creating their own - in - school referendum. A great way to increase the transparency of the educational system at LAE, but also a significant step towards getting to know each other a bit more.

4 A - Levels & Super - curriculars
3 A - levels plus+ & Super - curriculars
LAE students have the ability to express their views and make them clear for the community.
Members of the student council have been resilient in organising both the logistics and the practicality of the referendum. From brainstorming ideas from the referendum to creating ballot boxes from old shoe boxes, everyone has participated in the planning and creation of the ‘ big day'. We await the announcement of what has been the most popular option. The referendum serves a dual purpose; firstly, to give voice to LAE students to make sure their values and preferences are heard and secondly to replicate the voting system, create a realistic environment in which students can feel safe and demonstrate how the voting system works in Britain, allowing us all to gain thorough knowledge as future voters. Either through minority representation or voting systems, LAE student council is successful in representing the most important element of our school - LAE students.
