Overview and Opportunities:

Staff Team Support and Responsibilities: The Head of Character (Mr Barker) will facilitate the overall approach to Student Leadership and will run the Whole School Council with support from AALs/ALs. Year Group School Councils will be led by the respective AAL and AL for that year group and tutors will play a key role in the selection of Student Leaders.
Year 11 Leadership, including Prefects, House Ambassadors: Will be supported by the Year 11 AL/AALs (Miss Bradhshaw and Mr N Mather) and Mr Mullholland (Houser Leadership).
Year Group Student Councils: Provide the opportunity for students from every year group to take on a leadership role and help to continue to improve the school experience for all students. At the start of the term, students can apply to be their tutor group representative on their Year Group Student Council. Tutors will make decisions as to who is selected based on a short application process. Two students (ideally one boy and one girl), will be selected from each tutor group and will then be in their role until the end of the academic year.
Whole School Student Council: This Council is made up of representatives from each of the different Year Group Student Councils. With the exception of Year 11, where representatives have already been decided, students in a given year group will have the opportunity to vote for the person that they think would best represent them on the Whole School Student Council at a Year Group Assembly.
