Student Leadership Team 2024-25

Student Leadership at Haileybury Turnford

Developing Student Leadership across the school is key, as when given an opportunity students can have a profound impact on their school. Involvement in leadership activities can improve students’ learning as well as helping them to develop the skills and traits needed for success outside of the classroom.

Haileybury Turnford’s Student Leadership Programme aims to increase the opportunity for Student Leadership across the school and to give all students an opportunity to be listened to and contribute to promoting whole school events and student wellbeing.

We encourage and plan regular opportunities for students to feedback on ‘school life’ including teaching and learning, wellbeing provision, homework, co-curricular activities, and rewards.  Student voice is important in supporting leaders across the school and provides opportunities to continue to create an inclusive, safe, and engaging learning environment for all students.
