Student Leadership

STUDENT LEADERSHIP

Listening to students and developing students as leaders is at the heart of enabling our young people to realise their potential. This builds the skills, confidence and motivation for young people to become advocates for their own and others’ needs. It also helps them to improve their own learning through a wider range of experiences. The structure includes Senior and Junior Student Representative Teams involved in planning and decision- making together with leadership, staff and parents.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP TEAM (SLT)
