Student Leadership Team

Meet The Team…

Jade – Head Girl – School of Aspiration

 

My role as head girl allows me to reach my goals and enables me to support students and make them feel accepted and understood. I try to lead by example and be a positive role model, my aim is to create the right ethos for the younger students and make the Academy a fun place to learn.

Emily – Head Girl – School of Inspiration

 

I wanted to take on the role of head girl to help act as student voice within the Academy and ensure that everyone has the right to be heard. I am hoping that being head girl of Inspiration will boost my confidence and enable me to speak out for all students and be a person others can look up to.

Tom – Head Boy – School of Motivation

 

I wanted to become a head boy because I believe that I can set a good example for the younger students in the Academy and want to be a role model that they can aspire to. I also want to be the voice for other students, to put forward their opinions and get their ideas across to the senior leadership team.

Laura – Head Girl – School of Innovation

 

I really wanted to be head girl as I wanted to be someone that younger students could look up to. My aim is to be a head girl that others can aspire to and that students feel comfortable in approaching with any problems or issues. I am here to offer help and guidance and welcome new students into the Academy.

Dan – Head Boy – School of Innovation

 

I became a head boy to help the Academy become a more positive and student friendly place to be. I want to become a head boy that younger students admire and look up to and inspire them to work hard, achieve their goals and take on roles like mine in the future.

Kimberley – Head Girl – School of Motivation

 

I wanted the role of head girl because I wanted to make the younger students feel accepted and welcome in the Academy. As part of my role I wanted to help make the Academy a better place to learn, to support students with any issues and be a positive role model.

Tauri – Head Boy – School of Aspiration

 

I wanted to become a head boy because I believe that it is a great opportunity to work with and support other students within the academy. Taking on a positive role like this is also viewed highly by employers and can enhance opportunities when leaving the Academy and pursuing future careers.

Lia – Head Girl – School of Inspiration

 

I applied to be a head girl because I wanted the chance to make a difference and be a positive role model.  My role allows me to support and help younger students in the academy and encourage them to work hard and achieve their goals.
