Student Leadership

The Student Leadership Team (StLT) for the Academic Year 2022 - 2023 has been set up with students in mind. 

We have three strands to our StLT: leadership team, student council and prefects.

Student Leadership Team  

Each member has an area of responsibility within the school.  Students meet at least every two weeks to discuss arising issues within their areas and act upon them. This team is made up solely of Year 11 and Year 13 students who were selected in role following a thorough interview process.

Student Council  

Student Council consists of two leaders from each year group across all key stages.  Their role is to meet with the Form Representatives and discuss arising topics from their year group, identifying common threads that can be added to the full leadership meeting agenda for action. 

Prefects

Prefects in school are responsible for all fundraising and charity events that take place.  They support our PTA by being the student link to promote events that also support fundraising for our school.  They also organise their own leaver’s events such as prom, yearbook and hoodies.

We have a student voice cycle, which runs successfully each half term.  We meet as a full team to discuss arising topics and action improvements that we feel important.  Once completed, these actions are then fed back to students within form time.

Aims of our Student Leadership Programme:

- 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 Epping St. John's.

- To prepare students for Higher Education and for achieving personal and professional excellence in life after formal education.
