From the Head of Pastoral Mr Hilton Hardman
2021 Student Guild At our Chapel service on Monday 19 October, we inducted the 2021 Student Guild. Part of that ceremony is always to thank and acknowledge the outgoing Guild. I have had the pleasure of working with the 2020 Guild this year; they are a fantastic group of students who have put the needs of other students before their own. On Monday’s Chapel service I had the following to say about this outgoing group: It has become clear to me that this year’s Student Guild has an unconditional love for our school and what it stands for. In a world full of people looking out for what might be best for them, it was refreshing to work with a group who were so selfless to their cause. They used their leadership to foster positive change and inclusivity daily. In line with this a quote from one of Marvels favourite movies, “With great power, comes great responsibility”. They have shown passion, commitment, resilience and flexibility during this year, with a healthy dose of humour during our meetings. I could list the number of goals achieved, events run or the fact that they have raised more money for charity than any Guild before them, but what has stood out to me is this groups relationship with their fellow students.
I want to express my gratitude to the Guild for their leadership during this period. One of the key messages passed on during this service was for the incoming leadership group to understand that they are a caretaker of their elected position. They should strive to leave it in a better state than when they received it as they are not only a representative of their school and house, but also a representative of each person who has held that position before them. Like those before they have left their legacy, it is time for them to start theirs. I have no doubt the 2021 Guild will serve our school community with the same level of energy and enthusiasm. Congratulations to those students.

Leadership is not only about making decisions or running events; it’s also about supporting those around you. I am confident in saying you have been role models to our students and had a positive impact in their lives and because of this, you won’t be forgotten anytime soon. 5
