Student Leadership

School Presidents (Year 11)

Our School Presidents represent the pinnacle of student leadership within our community. Tasked with supporting the Junior Leadership Team, the Presidents serve as the primary ambassadors for the student body, working closely with the Senior Leadership Team and staff. They play a pivotal role in shaping school culture, representing the school at high-profile public events, and driving forward student-led initiatives. This prestigious role requires exemplary conduct, outstanding communication skills, and a commitment to ensuring that the student voice remains central to our school's strategic development. 

Sports Captains (Year 10)

Sports Captains are responsible for championing physical education, teamwork, and healthy lifestyles across all year groups. Operating as positive role models both on and off the field, they assist in organising inter-house competitions, supporting extracurricular sports clubs, and promoting inclusion in physical activities. Through their leadership, Sports Captains help cultivate a spirit of resilience, fair play, and healthy competition, inspiring their peers to engage fully in the physical and personal development opportunities our school offers. 

Peer Mentors (Year 10)

Peer Mentors provide vital pastoral support, helping to foster a welcoming, secure, and inclusive school environment. Acting as approachable and reliable points of contact, they assist Year 7 students with navigating daily school life. Through regular drop-in sessions and structured guidance, Peer Mentors offer peer-to-peer reassurance, help build student confidence, and work alongside our pastoral team to ensure every individual feels supported and valued within our community. 

Teaching and Learning Ambassadors

Teaching and Learning Ambassadors act as the student voice within the academic heart of the school. Working collaboratively with faculty leads, these ambassadors offer feedback on teaching strategies, digital learning tools, and curriculum engagement. They are dedicated to discovering and promoting the most effective ways students learn, ensuring that our classrooms remain dynamic, challenging, and inclusive environments where every learner is empowered to succeed. 

Anti-Bullying Ambassadors

Our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors are formally trained student leaders dedicated to maintaining a safe, respectful, and kind school environment. They run proactive campaigns, conduct form-time drop-ins, and manage student-led support systems to raise awareness about bullying prevention. Easily identifiable and highly approachable, they provide their peers with safe avenues to report concerns and play an essential role in embedding our core values of mutual respect and community responsibility. 

Junior Leadership Team (JLT)

The Junior Leadership Team (JLT) serves as the formal voice of the student body, bridging the gap between students, staff, and school governors. Comprising elected representatives from across the year groups and spearheaded by the School Presidents, the JLT meets regularly to discuss student feedback, pitch new school initiatives, and drive community improvements. This forum provides a structured platform for students to practice active citizenship, negotiate effectively, and take direct ownership of their learning environment and school community. 

Form Representatives

Form Representatives serve as the essential foundation of our student leadership structure, providing a direct link between the classroom and the Junior Leadership Team. Elected by their peers, Form Reps are responsible for gathering feedback, ideas, and concerns from their respective form groups and presenting them at JLT meetings. This role requires individuals who are approachable, organised, and dependable, ensuring that the unique views of every single student are represented and heard at a whole-school level. 

The Food Investigate, Improve, Inform Team (FIIIT) is a student body with representatives from each year group. They work closely with the canteen staff,  Head Teacher and our food provider to ensure students voices are heard and we are following the government's guidelines, The School Food Plan, in order to uphold our Gold Healthy Eating Award status. 

The team have achieved many accomplishments since they started including music in the canteen, a nutritional folder for all food sold by the canteen, ongoing reviews and updates of the food offering through to many charity stalls. They are currently working on ideas and sourcing interiors for the additional canopy, fundraising for a new student shelter as well as reviewing the special dietary requirements offering. 

Every year during the National Healthy Eating Week they hold an assembly to inform students of the key messages. As it is a student body they are able to talk to peers gathering feedback and passing on the improvements that have been made. They follow our food policy and support the food curriculum studied.  Due to their presence we are a leader for new initiatives before other schools in our area.

The Anti Bullying Steering Group (ABSG) have been meeting regularly on Fridays giving students the opportunity to come up with ideas and ways of promoting this group within the school. 

The group have also been busy working on a new Anti Bullying referral form which will give the students at Redden Court another avenue for reporting bullying. 

Members of the group will also carry out form time drop-ins so students are aware of who is part of the group and can recognise those students if they would like to approach them for help and support with any issues.  

We will be starting a drop-in at break times in the coming weeks which anyone can access during break times on a Wednesday.  This will be promoted by the team during their visits to form groups and posters advertising this.
