Irrespective of the year group, within each tutor group, students have the opportunity to take on board a role of responsibility; there are two students who fulfil each role per tutor group.  It may be that your impact is as a Tutor Group representative on the Year Group Council, or as a House representative that will engage with the Heads of House; possibly as a Sports representative generating teams for competitions or even as a Climate Committee member making the school more sustainable. 

Key to the success of student leadership is the positive relationships created between students and staff where ideas are generated and there is an opportunity to lead events, support charities, raise awareness and drive change for the benefit of all at Hayesfield and beyond.  Students can liaise with their Tutor or the Assistant Head (Character Development) to find out more information.

There are roles as a Reading Representative, which can lead on to being a Book Eyrie Fledgling, or maybe you would prefer to be a House Point Coordinator or Student Ambassador, leading visitors and meeting guests.  These roles exist in every tutor group in every year, resulting in 784 leadership positions before we contemplate Year 7 Buddies, Prefects and members of 6SLT; Your voice, your school.

6SLT is the Senior Leadership Team within the Sixth Form that are responsible for chairing meetings, engaging the community within and beyond Hayesfield, driving the Climate Committee, arranging and organising events and supporting school activities beyond normal school hours.  Students apply and are interviewed for specific roles and the team is then appointed for the duration of Year 13, ensuring dynamism and a lasting legacy; 6SLT work closely with the school’s Senior Leadership Team.

Sixth Form Prefects are a vital part of student leadership, working alongside 6SLT and staff to ensure the success of events and initiatives, such as the student supported reading programme and lunchtime activity room rotas.
