STUDENT AMBASSADORS Our team of senior students plan social and fund raising events within Sixth Form and the wider community. They support the Student Council in lower school in organising whole school events and activities. Towards the end of Year 12, students are invited to apply for the role of Student Ambassador and the role of Student President. Senior Students serve as role models to other pupils, contributing to an ethos where all students’ views are respected and valued.
