Student Leadership
At Harris Garrard Academy, all students from the primary, secondary and Sixth Form phases can exercise their democratic rights and elect a student leadership team.
Through our student leadership team, every student will have a voice in the running of the academy, and a chance to bring about positive change. The aim of the team is to bring about developments in teaching and learning, behaviour and students’ experiences so that students are happy and can thrive in our community.
Each secondary tutor group and primary class holds a mini election to choose their class representative. The positions of Head Girl, Head Boy and Hub Captains are open to our sixth formers, who put themselves forward as candidates and must take part in hustings, before an election being held across the whole school. The candidates for Head Girl and Head Boy must also undergo an interview with the Head of Academy.
A word from the Head Girl and Head Boy
On behalf of the whole Academy, we would both like to welcome you - parents, prospective students and current members of the Harris Garrard community.
Throughout our seven years at the Academy, the importance of education has always been a focal point with an underlying theme of determination. Every member of the academy, from the students to staff, possess such resilience, ensuring they deliver the highest quality of teaching whilst the students aspire to achieve to the best of their ability.
The Sixth Form especially have dedicated members of staff who ensure that you are supported regardless of your post-16 plans, whether that be a university path or going straight into the world of work.
The importance of our most significant mantra, “Learning Changes Lives” resonates throughout our Academy
There is a strong sense of community that is prevalent when you become a student at Harris Garrard Academy and it is something that has a lasting effect on your life. A commitment to making everyone feel welcome is something that our school community prioritises.
The teachers seek to make every child feel comfortable, creating safe spaces for everyone through the various programmes, clubs and events held within the Academy. The student leadership team strive to be the voice of the student body, giving them the opportunity to express their ideas and celebrate both our sense of community and individuality within the Academy.
Last but not least, we would both like to highlight the simple yet powerful fact that education is the key to success. The importance of our most significant mantra, “Learning Changes Lives” resonates throughout our Academy and by equipping every child with the tools of education and good character, they will no doubt open many doors ensuring a successful future.
