Student Leadership at Ecclesfield

At Ecclesfield School we believe that students should be given a wide range of opportunities to develop and practise leadership skills in order to become independent, respectful and informed citizens who exceed their personal and academic potential.

We aim to provide opportunities for students to develop leadership skills, empowering partnership between staff and students and provide staff with a deeper understanding of the organisation in line with the school’s mission, vision and values.

• To empower students to work in partnership with staff 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, challenging and valued projects which impact positively on learning, teaching and well-being for both students and staff at Ecclesfield School.
