Leadership is simply the art of being able to make good
things happen.
People with this ability are always in demand,
whether in society or in the workplace, because of their
ability to bring about transformational change. We place
great emphasis upon developing leadership skills in young
people; the competitive House system offers pupils various
avenues for developing leadership ability, as do our team
sports, music groups, the Prefecture, pupil forum and both the
Head’s Award (Years 7-9) and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
(Years 10-13). Every sixth former is invited to engage in our
professional mentoring programme, which pairs students with
leading professionals in the areas of working life which most
appeal to them, for direct contact and guidance. By exercising
leadership within the wider school community, sixth form
students in turn inspire others. We encourage pupils and
students to develop confidence without arrogance and to use
their leadership skills in the service of other people.
“
Leadership is this: the capacity and the will to
rally men and women to a common purpose
and the character which inspires confidence
