Wildern Changemakers

2026-2027 

Wildern Changemakers are a chance for students to collaborate across year groups and with staff to shape the future of Wildern.

Each group will report back termly on their outcomes and have specific areas of focus for the year. We want to see impact at whole school level and for all students to have an awareness and involvement in these groups whether that be actively attending or participating in the events and projects they arrange. 

To elevate their impact, Wildern Changemakers meetings will be timetabled during registration. If you have a tutor group they will have a regular cover once a week.
