Download our Information Booklet Your Student Union – Your Voice, Your College
At King Edward’s, the Student Union (SU) is at the heart of college life, representing and empowering the student body. Our mission is simple: to make sure your voice is heard and to create a college experience that reflects what students want and need.
The SU is led by a team of elected Year 13 representatives, who campaign to win your votes and take on key roles in shaping college events, student-led initiatives, and policy discussions. They work closely with senior staff, ensuring that student perspectives are considered in decision-making.
Midway through the academic year, Year 12 students have the chance to run for the Shadow Student Union, preparing to take full office the following year. This system ensures a smooth transition and continued student leadership.
Each SU member has a dedicated area of focus, from student welfare and personal tutor liaison to community outreach and volunteering, events and equality and diversity. With a self-raised budget, they organise college-wide events, fund projects, and enhance student spaces.
The Student Union is your platform for change—whether you have an idea for an event, a suggestion for improvement, or a cause you’re passionate about, we’re here to support and amplify your voice.
Get involved, speak up, and help shape your college experience!
