Student Leadership Opportunities

Opportunity to represent the sixth form and school as the head boy or girl and deputy head. In your role you will regularly have meetings with the head teacher to discuss your sixth form experience and will also have fundraising opportunities and lead the planning of the prom. You will be able to speak on behalf of the other students within the sixth form and have roles in promoting the positive environment of our sixth form.

We also have a specific sixth form council, where each tutor group has a representative and will meet at least once every half term. In your meetings you will discuss any ideas that you might have to help develop your sixth form experience.

Each of these programmes can help develop a wide variety of skills and are a perfect addition to your personal statement to make you UCAS and career applications stand out even more.
