Student Leaders

Developing students’ leadership skills is an important aspect of life at KES.  All students need to develop confidence, resilience, organisation and communication skills and there are ample opportunities for them to do this.

Our Sixth Form Student Leadership Team are ambassadors for the school, lead the Prefect Teams, attend key functions and run the School Council. 

They meet with the school’s Senior Leadership Team to discuss issues that are important to the student body, as well as running any committees in the Sixth Form. 

Students apply for these roles each March and their term of office will run from April for one year. Students complete an application form and attend an interview with members of staff on the Senior Leadership Team.

The SLT work together on a legacy project to leave a lasting mark on KES. Previous projects have included the purchase of tree saplings to be planted in the new courtyard of the new school building, a tapestry wall hanging and an allotment.

In Year 10, students are offered the opportunity to apply to become Prefects.  Prefects are split into different teams with specific responsibility for a different area.

These areas are: House System, Anti-Bullying Council, English as an additional Language, Sports, Graduates, Environment and Community.
