Educating For Leadership

Leadership Opportunities The role of the pupils in the life of the school is vital in supporting an ethos of strong community and innovation which speaks for the entire pupil body. There is a wide range of opportunities for pupils to contribute to the wellbeing and development of the school and the wider community at all stages of their career which successfully supports the leadership potential of all. Pupils are encouraged to contribute formally and informally in a number of ways and through a variety of democratic structures. Student Voice Our pupil council, known as the ‘Student Leadership Council’, plays an important role within the school community, democratically representing the views of all pupils. The Council has two elected representatives from each year group and is chaired by a member of the Senior Prefect Team. Members of the Council have regular meetings which develops their skills in debating and citizenship. The group makes recommendations to the Principal and Senior Leadership Team on key issues. Digital Leaders This group aims to educate pupils, parents and staff about the best way to use technology in a responsible way in order to enhance learning. Membership of the group is open to all pupils and will provide guidance, training and support to members of the school community. Prefect Team Senior pupils have the opportunity to undertake more responsibilities within the school. This includes becoming a member of the Prefect Team. This team consists of a Senior Prefect Team of six, including the Head Girl, Head Boy, two Deputy Head Girls and two Deputy Head Boys and Prefects. All Prefects are trained as anti-bullying ambassadors at the beginning of the academic year. Literacy & Numeracy Leaders These pupils have responsibility for promoting literacy and numeracy in engaging and exciting ways.
