Leadership

A small school has more opportunities for genuine leadership and all our Sixth Formers will take on a leadership role during the course of their time with us, in either the Senior School or helping to nurture and develop our Prep school pupils

Traditional roles. These include the roles of Prefect, Boarding Prefect, House Captains and Heads of School. Prefects will be appointed throughout the year depending on qualities shown by pupils and are not limited to just those in the Upper Sixth. If you have what it takes, then pupils from Lower Sixth will be appointed.

Taking the initiative is a leadership skill in itself. Students are encouraged to take the initiative in seeking responsibility, whether helping in the Prep School, assisting with running clubs, organising charity events, hosting brew clubs as well as a multitude of other examples.

Community and Outreach initiatives, locally, nationally and internationally are also possibilities for students to explore. The Deputy Head Co-curricular, Community and Outreach and tutors provide details of these opportunities as they arise through discussion in tutorial time.

Extracurricular activities. All Sixth Formers are expected to have an active role in these, either as participants or assistants taking on leadership in existing activities or developing their own activity as a leader.

Pupil voice, provides opportunities through the Pupil Council and other pupil committees and groups.
