Head Girl Team

Welcome to our new Head Girl team

Our Sixth Form students are exceptional role models for our school community and we are extremely proud and delighted to introduce our new 2022/23 Head Girl team, led by Samira and Isobel, along with their deputies Vanessia and Alyssa. We can’t wait to see you all in action over the next year!

Isobel Sibree-Dolan, Head Girl

Studying French, Chemistry and Biology I am honoured to be the next Head Girl at Sheffield Girls’ and incredibly excited to get really involved with the role! My favourite quote is: ‘Be the Rainbow in Somebody Else's Cloud’.

– Maya Angelou I love it because kindness is so valuable and will take you far!

Samira Sanders, Head Girl

Studying English Language, Biology and Chemistry I’m so excited to be part of the new Head Girl Team. I’m passionate about promoting social justice and hope to be a voice to all students within our School and can often be found terrorising other students with my constant singing! One of my favourite quotes is from Merida in Brave: ‘If you had the chance to change your fate, would you?’

Vanessia Ogedengbe, Deputy Head Girl

Studying Biology, Chemistry and Drama I am most looking forward to supporting and connecting with peers in my role, helping them. It’s incredible that I can help peers and students in our School with any ideas or issues they may have. One of my favourite quotes is from Mulan:

‘A flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of them all.’

Alyssa Ramlakhan, Deputy Head Girl

Studying Biology, Chemistry and Maths Hi, my name is Alyssa, and I am excited to be a Deputy Head Girl in the upcoming year. I am an avid reader and love to dive (not the scuba kind!). I am looking forward to getting to know everyone within the school community and hear all the great ideas. My favourite quote is

‘The best things in life, the very best things, happen unexpectedly’.

Ella Payne, Senior Prefect

Studying English Language, Economics and PE I’m looking forward to supporting the younger students in School, offering advice and being on hand if they have any questions or concerns. My favourite quote is

‘Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching’.

– C. S. Lewis

Aida Tesfaye, Senior Prefect

Studying Biology, Chemistry and Maths Aside from A Levels, I love socialising with my friends, going to Sheffield United football matches (the better Sheffield team) and probably watching the Office and People Just Do Nothing on repeat with a Nutella bar in my hand! I’m looking forward to helping out at many events and departments and interacting more with everyone in the School community, students, friends and teachers! Feel free to stop me for a chat.

Millie Sadiq, Senior Prefect

Studying Biology, Chemistry and Religious Studies I’m excited to be able to work with both teachers and students to improve our School and be able to act as a relatable figure for students and give my advice and tips with the hindsight I now have. One of my favourite quotes is

‘Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way’

– Dr Seuss

It is very motivating and encompasses the values that our school strives to teach about determination and achieving your goals.

Millie Brock, Senior Prefect

Studying Economics, Geography, and Maths I enjoy playing the flute, piano, singing and volunteering outside of school at my local scouts. I’m very excited to be on the senior prefect team and can’t wait to see you all around school. My favourite quote is

‘What is this life, if full of care, We have no time to stand and stare?’

Alisa Ivanov, Senior Prefect

Studying Biology, Chemistry, Physics and German As often as it is said, but I always did look up to the older years. I am really excited that I can step up to be the person that the younger years look up to, and I look forward to getting to know the younger years on a more personal level! One quote I would choose would be:

‘The only way to fail is not to fight. So fight until you can't fight anymore’.

– Amelia Shepherd, Grey’s Anatomy.

Lene Marsden, Senior Prefect

Studying Politics, Sociology and Philosophy, Religion and Ethics I’m hoping to study Sociology & Politics at Sheffield University next year, and go into Politics as my career. I am so honoured to be a Senior Prefect and can’t wait to get involved in everything. Whether that’s at Open Days or other school events, but also being a role model for younger students. By having this opportunity, it enables me to be able to have a greater presence amongst the School community, which is really important for me!

Infant and Junior School Head Girls

We are also thrilled to share that our Infant and Junior School Head Girls for the next academic year will be Chiedza Ushewokunze and Annabelle Seymour.

‘We are looking forward to working together as a team, especially on different events and with the younger girls. We are so excited to be Head Girls!’

Year 7 Experience Day

To prepare for life in the Senior School, our Year 5 pupils had fun making new friends with visiting pupils in the Senior School, whilst participating in exciting workshops including Careers, Maths and Art.

International Women’s Day

In March we came together to celebrate International Women’s Day across the School and #BreakTheBias. This year, our Year 12 Peer Educators delivered lessons on how to challenge gender stereotypes, our Head Girl team hosted an assembly about internalised misogyny and our Infant and Junior School pupils explored women’s literature in their library. We value being able to come together as a through school community to celebrate women’s achievements, raise awareness against bias and take action for equality.
