Let's Celebrate!

Announcing Head Girl & Head Boy

Selection for the position of Head Girl and Head Boy has always been through a process of application and interview.  This year our current student leaders, Shehneela and Olly, introduced a new process, which involved all of our students, in each year group.  

Following the application and interview six students were selected to move forward into the new stages of the process, the hustings and the student vote.  Each of the candidates presented their compelling reasons for wanting the roles in assemblies and were then able to talk to students during break and lunchtimes.  Evie, Daniel, Randa, Mateo, Lucy and Jack worked extremely hard, as they faced a week of campaigning to get their message across.

The vote took place, with students lining up and formally being given a voting slip and entering the polling booth.


The announcement was made on Tuesday 2nd April and we are delighted the students selected Lucy and Mateo as Head Girl and Head Boy for the coming year.  
The six candidates will form a formidable team, working to further develop our school.

This new process has raised the profile of this important role within our school and it has given our students a voice.  Thank you Olly and Shehneela for giving our students the opportunity to select their leaders.

Year 9 Assembly

Each year group has been celebrating their achievements so far this year, with 243 Year 9 students walking on to the stage to receive a certificate.  Mr Byrne made it clear to Year 9 that in exactly one year, they will be celebrating the selection of Head Boy and Head Girl from their peers!
