Pupil leadership

Pupil leadership is a notable strength of the school. There is a wide variety of leadership opportunities available to all pupils, which include pupil leadership groups aligned with the school’s core values, sports leaders and form representatives. Through these, all pupils, including those with additional learning needs, are given opportunities to develop their leadership skills. These groups hold high status within the school community, influencing decisions and initiatives, and fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility amongst pupils. Working closely with the senior leadership team and the headteacher they shape an abundance of whole-school changes, such as the healthy eating initiative, charity work, and bespoke careers advice. Each leadership group has clear terms of reference with clear lines of communication across the school, representing their peers effectively. Currently, a third of students hold leadership roles and most pupils feel that they have a voice in school life and that their opinions and feelings are respected.
