Leadership

The school values the contribution that Sixth Formers can make to the life of the school and is aware of the value to Sixth Formers themselves of sharing responsibility for younger members through mentoring, chaplaincy and buddying programmes.

Each November, students in Year 12 elect a Head Girl and two Deputy Head Girls. They are appointed following a lively election process, including a hustings and interview with the Headteacher. They play an essential role in representing the Sixth Form and lead a team of Senior Prefects who are responsible for subjects, year groups, community welfare, chaplaincy and SEN. All prefects receive excellent leadership training led by a skilled professional.

Sixth Formers also have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills in hosting a variety of events such as International Women's Day and The Covent Garden Challenge.
