At Madeley School we believe that students should be given a wide range of opportunities to develop and practise leadership skills in preparation for life beyond school. Many Student Leadership activities will focus on improving the quality of learning and teaching in the classroom, improving the school environment, encouraging others to take part in school debates and improvement plans, being ambassadors for the school in open evenings and outside of school in community events, motivating and developing students in sports activities etc.

Aims of Student Leadership

  • To empower students to work in partnership with the school towards shared goals.
  • To enable creativity to flourish as the school community benefits from the wealth of experiences, ideas, skills and sense of fun that students bring.
  • To provide opportunities for students to develop leadership skills through a variety of inspiring and challenging school improvement projects.
  • To prepare students for higher education, and for achieving personal and professional excellence in life after formal education.
