Head Student Team & Student Leadership
Our Sixth Form students are role models for the wider school community. Through their commitment, leadership and service, they provide visible examples for younger students and play a key role in driving positive change across the school
The Head Student leads a team of senior student leaders, each with designated areas of responsibility. These include charity and community engagement, worship and spiritual life, mentoring and student wellbeing, as well as leadership of key whole-school priorities such as diversity and inclusion, mental health awareness, sustainability, and digital excellence. Team members are also encouraged to develop and lead initiatives that reflect their own passions and interests.
This leadership structure provides invaluable opportunities for students to develop their communication, organisation and leadership skills. At the same time, it strengthens the quality of provision across the school by placing Sixth Form students at the forefront of initiatives relating to student voice, diversity, mental health and wellbeing, worship, charitable action, environmental sustainability and digital innovation.
Through their leadership, our Sixth Form students make a significant contribution to the culture, ethos and continued success of our school.
My name is Rahaf, and I am incredibly honoured to be Head Student at Archbishop Blanch. My journey here has been one shaped by the kindness, encouragement and support of the teachers and community around me. Over the years, this school has become so much more than a place of education; it is somewhere I have grown in confidence, discovered my passions and learned so much about myself. Every day, I see our Core Values reflected in the people around me, and I believe that is what makes Archbishop Blanch so special: it not only encourages us to find our own voices, but to use them to uplift and support others. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of this community and fulfilled for the memories I am making; I proudly represent the ABS student body.
Worship Lead
Worship is at the heart of our school community, uniting us to celebrate our shared values. As part of the Sixth Form leadership team, my role involves engaging with younger year groups to promote unity through faith, strengthening relationships across year groups, and fostering a deeper sense of belonging throughout the school.
Charity Lead
The sixth form plays a key role in organising charitable initiatives that reflect the school’s core values. By leading fundraising events, we foster a culture of giving and gratitude, encouraging students to support those in need. Teamwork and collaboration build trust, creating an inclusive where all feel valued. Charitable work also teaches the importance of kindness, forgiveness, and understanding, promoting unity and selflessness both within the school and the wider community.
