Education for a changing world
One expectation is that all Year 12 students should run
a lunch-time club or activity for younger pupils. This
requires time (one lunch-time per week) and
commitment but the rewards in terms of pleasure and
appreciation from the younger students are
immeasurable.

Leadership skills
Early in the Autumn Term, we appoint our House
Captains from the Year 12 intake. Many of these
students develop their leadership skills to a great
extent and they are then in line for posts of Prefect and
Head or Deputy Head of School when we come to
appoint them in the summer term. Prefects have a very
important role in the school, both supporting staff on
every day issues and representing the school at a wide
range of events throughout the year.
The school also has a Junior Leadership Team,
chaired by the Heads of School and led by
representatives from Year 12. The JLT actively
represent the views of the wider student body and
report to the Senior Leadership Team. The Heads of
School also attend meetings of the Board of
Governors of the school. The Deputy Heads of School
chair the school’s Learning Leadership Team which
meets twice each half-term to discuss how to improve
teaching and learning throughout the school.
