🌟 Student Leadership at Kinver High School

​

Engage. Succeed. Aspire to Lead.

​

At Kinver High School, developing future leaders is at the heart of our ethos. We believe every student should have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to our school community and practise leadership throughout their time with us. Student Leadership is not reserved for a select few—it’s a culture we actively nurture in all.

From the moment students arrive in Year 7, they begin their leadership journey with our six-week Aspire to Lead training programme. This bespoke course equips every student with the foundational skills and concepts of leadership—such as communication, teamwork, initiative, and responsibility—before they apply for any leadership role. It sets the tone for a school experience built on confidence, independence, and ambition.

​

💬 Leadership in Action

​

Leadership is embedded across school life, from our Enhancement curriculum to enrichment activities. Students engage in a wide range of leadership-focused opportunities that develop key skills such as oracy, critical thinking, and collaboration.

​

These include:

​

• Eco Leaders

• Hero Club

• House Leaders

• Digital Ambassadors

• Charity Leaders

• Sports Leaders

• Subject Ambassadors

• Literacy Champions & Librarians

• Grange Guardians

• Engineering Champions – F1 – Racing Groups

​

We are proud that our leadership groups continue to grow, and we welcome new ideas from students who wish to establish fresh initiatives and make a lasting impact.

​

🎓 Prefect Team & Senior Student Leadership

​

At the heart of our Student Leadership programme is the Prefect Team in Year 11, led by our Head Boy, Head Girl, and their deputies. These prestigious roles are awarded to students who embody the values of Kinver High and serve as role models for others. Their responsibilities include:

​

• Delivering speeches

• Leading at key events such as Open Evenings and Parents’ Evenings

• Supporting other student leaders

• Demonstrating exemplary behaviour

​

We celebrate the ambition of students who aspire to these roles, and many begin their leadership journey in Year 7 with this goal in mind.

​

🌱 A Culture of Aspiration

​

Leadership at Kinver is inclusive, visible, and ever-evolving. All students are encouraged to join leadership groups and take on more challenging roles as they progress. Applications are open to all and follow a fair, supportive process.

We hope that every student will find their place in our leadership community and take pride in shaping the school they belong to. At Kinver High School, we don’t just teach leadership—we live it.
