🏢 About us Helping Every Child Find Their Voice Smart School Councils is a charity helping every child to find their voice. At a time of deep division in society, too few young people get this opportunity. 💡 Our simple idea We believe that the most powerful tool is your voice, and learning to use it takes time, practice, and belief. Our award-winning, easy-to-use platform supports over 700+ member schools and helps 250,000 young people to speak up and make change in their schools. Schools in the most disadvantaged areas are hugely over-represented on our programme. Our schools use a simple tool to organise short, student-led class meetings that lead to real change and build oracy skills. Schools pay an annual subscription to access the platform. We generate income from this trading activity, and partnerships and philanthropy. 💼 Governance Our Board of Trustees ensures Smart School Councils continues to grow sustainably while staying true to its mission and values. Trustees oversee the charity’s long-term strategy, governance, and financial stability. Our current board includes: • Sam Hockman – Group Chief Executive Officer, BUUK Infrastructure Group, Chair of the Board, • Katherine Knight – Director of Intelligent Health, • Graça Fonseca – Co-Founder & Board Member, Futura Foundation, ex- Minister for Culture in Portugal., • Jon Alexander – Co-Founder, New Citizenship Project, Author and Visiting Fellow, Harvard University, • Neil Graham – Fractional CTO/CIO and Board Advisor 🎖 Achievements Scale 👉🏽 With a tiny amount of seed investment from The Young Foundation, we have built an exciting and scaleable platform used by 700+ paying member schools across the world. It’s regularly used by 250,000 young people. Impact 👉🏽 Our programme increases the percentage of pupils involved in democracy from 6% to 80% in a single term. It increases the average percentage of pupils who feel listened to from 36% before the programme to 83% after. 93% of teachers say it’s having a positive impact on speaking and listening skills. Financial model 👉🏽 In a difficult economic climate with deep school cuts, we have developed a healthy, trading subscription model. This is currently growing at 25% per year and brings in 50% of our turnover. Awards 👉🏽 We’re multi-award winning and have been championed by figures like Brian Eno and Alastair Campbell. 📈 Priorities Growth 👉🏽 We want to accelerate our growth in schools in the UK and internationally in order to create a bigger impact. Vision 👉🏽 With growth challenges, different projects and funding sources, we need to do further work to develop the organisation around a clear unified vision. Roadmap 👉🏽 Our goal is to be a ‘tech charity’ - 100% funded by trading rather than grants. We borrow our approach from the tech sector, but without tech sector budgets. This can be a challenge. Product suite 👉🏽 Building an exciting product suite to increase the amount of income per school per year. This is one of our key goals in becoming default alive. 🧐 Who are we looking for?
