Student leadership is an integral part of daily life at the Samworth Church Academy. Students in all year groups have opportunities and training to enable them to become involved in the strategic and operational running of the Academy in order to give exceptional experience and preparation for post-school life. They will learn transferable leadership skills that will enrich them and add to the likelihood of them enjoying 70 or more great years when they leave our school.
Our student leadership team is made up of the following opportunities:
- Student Council - All tutor groups nominate two representatives to form year group student councils. Student councils meet on a bi-weekly basis to gather and share feedback with Head Students, who take issues to the Executive Team.
- Year 7 – Visitor Hosts (support and assist visitors).
- Year 8 – Duty Student Receptionists (support staff and students daily).
- Year 11 – School Guardians (support staff and students at events and develop student share, undertake duties, tasks and jobs when needed).
- Year 13 – Head Students and Student Captains (undertake duties and involvement in planning whole academy events such as fundraising). Head Students are also the head of the Student Council and will share feedback with the Executive Team and the Governing body.
There are also lots of other opportunities for all students to be involved in student share, such as through recruitment processes, fundraising and charity days, working groups and any other opportunities that arise.
The student leadership team work closely with Mrs Jones and they attend regular student share meetings.
