We are excited to announce that from September 2025, we will be recruiting our new Year 10 Prefects and launching a full range of Pupil Leadership opportunities across the school.
Our Prefect programme will give selected Year 10 pupils the chance to develop their leadership skills while making a real difference to school life. Prefects will support with key events, act as role models for younger pupils, and help uphold our high expectations around behaviour, uniform, and our STRIVE values.
Alongside the Prefect Programme, we will also be launching a wider Pupil Leadership offer for all year groups. This will include roles such as School Council representatives, Mental Health and Wellbeing Ambassadors, Careers & Employability Ambassadors, Reading Ambassadors and Cultural Ambassadors. Through these roles, pupils will help shape school priorities, represent their peers, and contribute to a positive school environment.
Further details, including how to apply and the responsibilities involved, will be shared with pupils and parents in September. We look forward to seeing as many pupils as possible stepping up and showing leadership as they Strive for Excellence.
Year 10 Prefects Build Resilience and Team Spirit at Ackers Adventure
On Friday 4th July, our Year 10 Prefects embarked on an exciting and challenging team-building day at Ackers Adventure in Birmingham. The day was packed with hands-on activities designed to test their teamwork, resilience, and leadership skills.
The group took part in canoeing (bell boating), where they worked in sync to navigate the water. They also tackled the heights of the rock climbing wall—pushing boundaries, conquering fears, and supporting one another every step of the way. In the bushcraft sessions, students built shelters and learned to light fires, honing survival skills and discovering the value of cooperation in the great outdoors.
It was fantastic to see each student step outside their comfort zone, rising to the challenges and embracing the spirit of the day. The experience not only strengthened friendships but also highlighted the leadership qualities we are so proud to see in our prefect team.
A huge well done to the students who took part:
Olivia A, Rohan C, Alex C, Oscar G, Roisin L, Samson R, Imogen R, Archie S, Favour A, Mateo D, Lucien D, Selina J, Layla J, Andre K, Senan M, Aimee W, Harvey F, Marley C-W, Sophie C, Baran M, George P-Y, Michael P, Ayaan R, Macy R, Dunya S Z, and Jadon S.
We are incredibly proud of their achievements and the way they represented the school. Well done, Year 10 Prefects!
