Meet the team

After a rigorous selection, which included: written applications, interviews with members of the Senior Leadership Team, and speaking in front of their year group, the Student Leadership Team can now be announced. The students will be responsible for student voice in the academy and will convene regularly and safely to help further progress the Academy. They are ambassadors to the Academy and we could not be prouder of them! We look forward to seeing all that they achieve.
