Leadership:

The Senior Student Leadership Team plays a vital role in the Sixth Form and makes a significant impact across the school, embodying our commitment to British Values. Students are elected through a democratic process that includes hustings and a secret ballot. They are central to the life of the school, contributing in numerous ways. For instance, our student leaders mentor targeted students, serve as ambassadors at various events, and set an example for their peers. Their contributions are highlighted through their organisation of charity and sporting events and their dedication to being active role models for the wider student body.
