Student Leadership positions give many students the opportunity to gain wider extra-curricular experiences and contribute to how the school operates. We believe these roles play an essential part in helping develop students’ resilience and confidence in themselves.
Embedded within the Student Leadership structure is the school’s Student Council through which we endeavour to ensure students feel valued, value others and learn to work together to make a positive contribution.
There are roles available to students from all year groups and students are actively encouraged to apply for these roles.
