Leadership skills

We appoint our House Captains from the Year 12 intake, early in the autumn term.  Many of these students develop their leadership skills to a great extent and they are then in line for posts of Prefect, Senior Prefect and Head Boy and Girl when we come to appoint them in the summer term.  Prefects have a very important role in the school, both supporting the Staff on every day issues and representing the school at a wide range of events throughout the year.

The school has recently appointed a Junior Leadership Team, chaired by the Head Boy and Girl and led by representatives from Year 12.  The JLT actively represent the views of the wider student body, with each member of the team being attached to one of our Assistant Heads. The Head Boy and Girl are invited to attend and participate at the meetings of the Governing Body, whilst in post.  The Deputy Head Boy and Girl chair the school’s Learning Leadership Team which meets twice each half-term to discuss how to improve teaching an learning through out the school.
