The Sherborne Youth Council was set up in order for young people from all schools within the town to come together, via elected representatives each academic year, to share their views and thoughts and to feedback ideas from their schools.
The Youth Council will give the student body of the town more of a voice and a chance to discuss important issues for them, which they can feed into the town council.
The schools included in the council are The Gryphon, Sherborne Abbey, Sherborne Primary, Harbour Vale, Sherborne Boys, Sherborne Girls and Sherborne Prep.
The Mayor of Sherborne and Town Clerk, along with other members of the of the council, school leaders and the church are also in attendance at the meetings.
The inaugural meeting took place on the 30th November 2023.
The next meeting is on 7th March 2024.
