To foster a culture of service and social responsibility through community outreach, charity projects, and sustainability initiatives.
Promoting Peer Support

About Student Leadership Group
The Student Leadership Group will consist of the following tiered structure:
- Head Boy and Head Girl

- Student council and sub-committees
- Student body
Sub-committees:

Membership will be open to all students, with a selection process that encourages diversity, inclusivity, and equal opportunity. Students will apply through an application process, which may include a written application and/or interview. The selection will be based on leadership potential, enthusiasm, and the willingness to contribute to the group’s goals.
Members of staff will provide overall support for the individual sub-committees and in-turn support the overall structure of the Student Leadership group.
Regular (2/3 a half term) and calendared meetings will take place during tutor time (45mins). If the timetabling, through Bromcom allows, this could be a timetabled club/activity where students can be registered. The meetings will be chaired by the Head Students with assistance from Student Leadership support staff.
Meeting agendas will be confirmed in advance between the Head Students and Student Leadership support staff; agendas will then be shared with the student leadership group in advance of the meetings.
