Our active student council is heavily involved in college life, and is a vital link between tutors, curriculum leaders, and students.  

It provides a platform for learners to share ideas, raise concerns, and influence decisions that affect college life.  

Telford 6th will have its own student council, feeding directly into the Telford College-wide student council. 

The student council promotes leadership, teamwork, and communication skills, and collaborates with staff on initiatives ranging from wellbeing and safeguarding to enrichment activities and community engagement.  

By championing student perspectives, the council helps ensure the Telford 6th community remains responsive, supportive, and forward-thinking.
