Student Leadership
Student Leadership is central to the success of our academy and our students. Through our academy student leadership offer, we will deliver leadership opportunities that give you the confidence to impact the world around you, to take on challenges and to lead others.
Leadership flows through everything we do at the academy, it is integral to the learning of all students and built into our cultural perspectives, sport and enrichment. There are also many formal leadership opportunities, where you can play a role in shaping academy systems and culture and affecting change.
Leadership opportunities and development at the academy will reflect those available in employment and higher education and offers real world leadership skills and responsibility. We want you to leave us with the knowledge and skills that leaders need to make a difference. As well as the extensive in-house offer, you are able to access opportunities for external accreditation.
