Student team steps up

The candidates promoted, manifestoes published and votes counted – once again we have held our very own leadership election. Not leading to a new Prime Minister, but to the appointment of our new Head Girl, Head Boy and Student Leadership Team.

Nineteen students put themselves forward, and after a vote of all students and staff, the process reached its conclusion with the students interviewed by Headteacher Mr Hayer and other staff. Our new Student Leadership Team has now officially taken up its duties in school.

Congratulations to new Head Boy Ahmet and Head Girl Georgia. Supporting them will be Deputy Head Girls Amber and Heather, and Deputy Head Boys Shaheer and Zegham.

We have several special roles on the team, which this year will be taken by Tannima and Lewis, our Gifted & Talented Ambassadors. These students work both in school and with local primaries, with high ability pupils.

Our Transition Ambassadors Sara and Leo work with new Year 7 students to help them make the move into secondary school enjoyable and as stress-free as possible. This is a developing role that will also support Year 6 pupils as they move through applying to school, receiving their place and preparing to move up.

Completing the 2019-20 Student Leadership Team are our Year 11 Ambassadors, who take on several important roles for our final year students. So well done also to Aribah, Ruksana Adam and Yazan.
