Sixth Form at The King Edward VI School has a long and proud tradition of appointing Senior Students (Head/Deputy Boy/Girl). The roles of Senior Student are very prestigious and carry a great esteem; with them the roles require and engender a deep-rooted passion, pride and commitment in our school.

This week in Sixth Form, we see the launch of campaigns to be the new Senior Students, to represent the school and the student body. The roles of Senior Student develop candidates public speaking, leadership, facilitation, time management and problem solving skills. The roles themselves are ambassadorial roles and the Senior Students are asked to represent the school and student body at a number of events.

This year, we are delighted to have a strong field of candidates that are supportive of one another and passionate about the roles and the difference they can make.

Discussing why they applied for the roles, the students are clear in their vision and all want a more active role within the school community. The group see the roles as an opportunity to ‘give back’ and further enhance the positive experience The King Edward VI School provides. What is refreshing is the camaraderie and team spirit of the candidates, who genuinely seem to get on and have a shared vision and ethos of what the role of Senior Student means. One thing they are all looking forward to doing is working together to achieve positive change.

All students in Year 11 and 12, as well as all Staff, have the opportunity to vote for our next Senior Students on Friday. The vote will close at 9:15 on Friday morning and the current Senior Students will announce who will take up the reins during Friday morning once the vote has been counted.

The Sixth Form Team wish all of the candidates the very best of luck!
