Applications

How do students become a Student Leader?

All leadership roles undertaken at Willingdon Community School will involve an application process. During the process, all candidates will be interviewed to ensure they are suitable for the roles and to represent the school student community.

When applying to become a senior student leader, all applicants will have to undertake a comprehensive application process which will involve a range of stages culminating in a formal interview with the Chair of Governors and Head Teacher.

Student Expectations

Student Leaders are the school's role models. Our Student Leaders need to be students who work hard to reach our school's expectation of good behaviour and embrace Progress Every Lesson, 95% attendance, constant punctuality; you also need to be always in full and correct school uniform. You should represent and demonstrate our Personal Excellence Values at all times.

Training

Student Leaders are also expected to develop appropriate understanding, skills and attitudes of leadership and action during their term of leadership. All student leadership roles will involve training for students. Training will be delivered by the subject areas or area leads that oversee the range of roles. Subject Leaders are responsible for quality assuring the student training and will help develop the key skills required to fulfil each leadership role effectively.
