Head girl and boy
|
The prestigious role of head boy and girl is to lead the school council and the prefects and act as the students' representatives on issues that affect everyone such as uniform, catering and even interviewing new teachers! They are also ambassadors for the school and represent us on trips and at events outside the school.
This year's head girl and head boy are Isabella C and Adam E.
Isabella said: "It's a privilege to be head girl and I am really thankful for the opportunity. I look forward to voicing the opinions of all students"
Adam said: "I'm very honoured to be able to represent the school at this level. Our school has an outstanding reputation and I am extremely grateful to not only be a student at the Academy, but to be able to have such an important role in school too. I am very excited about the upcoming year."

Raising issues
For more information about the school council contact any of the pastoral team. If you have any issues about the school that you'd like to be discussed at the school council meetings, contact your sept representative who will take them forward on your behalf.
Don't forget that, as always, you can speak to your sept tutor or any member of staff you feel happy to approach about any problems or worries you may have.
How to get involved
Interviews take place each year for a range of leadership duties - it is a great chance for you to learn new skills, meet new people and make a difference to your school.
If you'd like the chance to be involved or to find out more contact Miss Siddle or speak to your sept tutor.
