As a school council, we look for ways to make the school a better place, for teachers and students. We have four sub committees which focus on specific parts of the school to make sure we can maximise the effects of the school council. These four sub committees are:

Site sub-council
We are the Sub-council that manages all on campus matters. In the past we have helped with new toilets and pegs in the canteen. We work the most with other sub-councils, our aim is to hopefully bring in a vending machine by September 2025.

Charity sub-council
The charity sub-council focuses on fundraising, community outreach, and volunteer coordination to support local causes. It aims to make a meaningful impact by collaborating with stakeholders, planning events, and managing resources efficiently, ensuring the well-being of those in need.

Food and Nutrition sub-council
A sub council based on improving and balancing the school nutrition standard whilst also letting the students enjoy the food they want. 

Climate sub-council
The Climate sub-council focuses on how the school can be more sustainable inside and outside of lessons. We have paper free days in place to make people aware that schools use too much paper. We are looking to have power down days which reduces the use of electricity. 

The school council works with Didcot Sixth Form and Didcot Girls' School to make sure all secondary schools in the Ridgeway Education Trust (RET) are made to be the best that they can be. We host weekly meetings and encourage students to speak their opinions about the school so the school can suit everyone's preferences. 

The School Council is lead by Mr Tylden, mtylden@st-birinus.oxon.sch.uk
