Student Leadership Team

During the first term of Year 12, we appoint a student leadership team. The aim is to provide an opportunity for all students in
the 6th Form to contribute to their School Community, develop their leadership skills, and in some cases, gain a leadership accreditation. The positions have been identified to support all students within our school community in the following areas:

  1. Community
  2. Pastoral
  3. Well-being
  4. Learning
  5. Literacy
  6. Clubs
  7. Competition
  8. Charity

If appointed to these roles, the aim is for the Head boys for each team, to work with their appointed deputies, to create and organise initiatives and events that raise the profile and improve these areas for all students within our school community.
This is facilitated through student voice  by the School Council.
