Senior Student Leadership

As principal, my ambition is to allow each pupil across all year groups to feel not just accepted at Belvedere but seen and celebrated. I love being part of a school community in which individuality is encouraged and my aim is to ensure the wide variety of interests and talents present at Belvedere don’t go under the radar. Whether it be through making sure all pupils are offered platforms from which to speak out about their passions or providing a wider range of enrichments to allow pupils to find their own communities, everyone deserves to feel valued and recognised. As principal, I will prioritise ensuring each and every pupil can see themselves in Belvedere.

As principal, my ambitions and aims are to promote collaboration across the different year groups to ensure a stronger sense of community and belonging at Belvedere, as I believe that both are integral aspects of student life and overall well-being. I further aim to do so by creating more opportunities that will include cross collaboration with each year group allowing students to express themselves and embrace their varying experiences and voices which I believe will greatly impact the growth of Belvedere. I further aim to strengthen existing systems in Belvedere, such as the peer mentoring system and the equality and diversity team to ensure kind and empowering spaces where everyone is encouraged to participate and work together, towards a Belvedere

As Principal, my ambition is to foster a strong culture of effective leadership and shared responsibility across all year groups, ensuring every student feels empowered to contribute meaningfully to the Belvedere community. I am dedicated to building stronger connections between the student voice and school decision-making, allowing feedback to actively shape future changes. My goal is to ensure every pupil feels heard and supported to thrive academically and personally, while fostering a sense of belonging and accomplishment at Belvedere.

My main goal in this role is to ensure that all new Year 7 pupils feel welcomed, comfortable, and truly part of the Belvedere community from the very beginning. I’m especially excited to help make the induction days as fun, engaging, and memorable as possible, so that starting secondary school feels less daunting and more exciting. I understand that moving into Year 7 can be overwhelming – particularly when it comes to making new friends and adjusting to a new environment – but as your senior prefect, I will be there to support you, help you build friendships, and guide you through any challenges you might face.

As Senior Prefect for Years 7–8, I aim to organise sporting events—not only to encourage girls to be more physically active, but also to help them make new friends, foster teamwork, and promote healthy habits at a time when many girls drop out of sport. Amongst the wider school community, I aim to decrease litter levels and make the school more environmentally friendly by increasing the use of recycling bins in the canteen, common room and outdoor areas.

As senior prefect for year 8 going into year 9, I want to help support students through this pivotal stage with confidence and resilience. I am committed to making sure that all pupils feel seen and represented by Belvedere, and that they feel a strong sense of belonging within their year group by building positive friendships and relationships. I want students to feel motivated to achieve their best, and help them get the most out of their time at school.

Within my role as senior prefect to year 9, and as that year group goes into year 10, I’m aiming to form real relationships between myself, the other prefects, and the members of that year group. I want to bridge the gap between older and younger years and ensure that every child feels seen and listened to by their prefects. I hope that the SSLT team is an approachable group of people that any student feels as though they can talk to and give feedback to so that the future of Belvedere reflects what the students truly want and need. This personal relationship is what I believe is really at the heart of the community at Belvedere and a sense of belonging for all pupils.

As the Senior Prefect of Year 10 going into Year 11, my ambition is to provide comprehensive support in every way that I can to my year group as they enter one of the most critical years of their education. As someone who developed productive study techniques during my GCSEs that proved to be successful, my aim is to promote the importance of maintaining a balanced approach between effective revision strategies & sustaining mental wellbeing, which I believe is a fundamental aspect of academic success.

It has always been my goal to bridge gaps and assist others whenever possible. As the Senior Prefect for Year 11 moving into Year 12, I am determined to prioritise your needs and make the GCSE experience as comfortable as it can be. Additionally, I aim to ensure the transition into Year 12 feels entirely natural. Year 11 is a pivotal year, and the move to Year 12 is equally significant; therefore, my primary goal is to provide you with unwavering support and guidance.

As Senior Community Prefect, my ambition is to strengthen the sense of community and belonging within the whole school. I aim to encourage student and staff participation, promote inclusivity and ensure students’ voices are heard. I am especially passionate about raising awareness of the different communities within Belvedere and how they are all linked together. Through initiatives, events and being an approachable Sixth-Former, I hope to create an environment where every student feels supported, confident and proud to be part of the Belvedere community.

As Senior Prefect for Wellbeing, my mission is to evolve how we approach and champion mental health at Belvedere. We’re moving beyond the classroom slides and traditional lessons to create dynamic, engaging initiatives that truly resonate with everyone. My goal is to introduce collaborative, hands-on ways to raise awareness and, more importantly, to ensure every student feels empowered and comfortable reaching out for support. Together, we can build a more connected, resilient and thriving cohort!

As Senior Prefect for Student Support, my goal is to foster an environment where every student feels seen, heard, and empowered to thrive. I am committed to ensuring that no one feels isolated and that our school remains a safe, inclusive space for everyone. Whether you are facing academic pressure or social challenges, please remember that no problem is too small to share. I am here to make school life more manageable and to be a consistent, reliable resource for you all.
