English Secondary Students’ Association (ESSA)

ESSA is the English Secondary Students’ Association.

We are run by students, for students aged 11 to 19 years old. We support young people's voice on issues which affect their lives at school or college. We are student voice!

We are working to become the representative organisation for students aged 11-19 throughout England. We provide support, training and advice to help students to get involved in decision making. We know that many young people have a difficult time at school or college and don't feel that anyone listens to their voice. ESSA wants to change this by supporting students to have a voice.
