Sandbach College Student Union (SCSU)
Sandbach College Student Union (SCSU) are an ambitious, student-led team, who are the voice of Sandbach College students. We are a community who represent the diverse and vibrant nature of the students who study at our College. We work hard with the students to make this College a safe and enjoyable place to be!
We meet every two weeks to discuss and feedback on matters around College and what we can do to bring about the changes that you want to see.
Our vision:
- promoting the interests and wellbeing of Sandbach College Students during their course of study
- providing social, cultural and recreational activities as well as forums for discussions and debate for the personal development of fellow Students
"Students and pupils benefit from a wide range of extra-curricular and enrichment activities. Through these activities, they are empowered by staff to develop their character and voice their opinions. " OFSTED Report Dec 22
