Student Leaders

All students have the opportunity in Year 7 to 10 to apply to become a Student Leader. The criteria for this role is that students are to be role models within the academy, with regards to uniform, attitude and effort, attendance and punctuality, respect, and manners. Within this role we also aim to further develop the professional standards of conduct, organisation, dedication, pride and values.

A team of 12-15 Student Leaders are appointed each academic year to provide support to our pastoral, administrative and curriculum staff; they are the academy’s ‘on the ground’ ambassadors.

Throughout the year, the Student Leaders will be trained as mental health ambassadors and coordinate and promote whole school and community improvement and fundraising activities. They also have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills further by taking part in workshops such as oracy and public speaking. They have even had the chance to meet our local MP to support them with their public speaking. 

To date the group have raised money for many charities including Overgate Hospice and SmartMove. This coming year they are hoping to continue to work with local food banks such as Halifax Homeless Shelter and other local organisations.
