Student Leadership Team
Our Pupil Leadership Team play a vital role in the communication between pupils and staff, in representing our academy in the wider community and as acting as role models for our younger pupils.
Pupils apply for roles in the Leadership Team by writing a letter of application to the Principal. If successful, they are invited for interview to discuss their skills and competencies and to outline the role they would be interested in.
Each member of our Pupil Leadership Team meet weekly with the Assistant Principal for Personal Development to discuss progress towards upcoming events, planning for future events and evaluation of impact to- date.
Our Pupil Leadership positions are:
- Principal Ambassadors (two positions)
- BHA Council Ambassador
- Fundraising Ambassador
- Transition Ambassador
- Be More Ambassador
Our Principal Ambassadors provide support to the Principal. This may include speaking at awards and events; giving tours to prospective pupils; supporting SLT and leading the team of Pupil Leaders.
The BHA Council Ambassador will, alongside the rest of the team, set the agenda for each BHA Council meeting. They will ensure that all form reps have had appropriate discussions about the agenda with their forms and will attend and minute the Year Team meetings.
