Student Leadership
At Harris Academy Sutton, we pride ourselves in giving our students opportunities to have a voice, make change and become leaders in the community.
Student Leadership is a key pillar of Harris Academy Sutton’s culture. From the moment students start in Year 7 there are wide-ranging opportunities for them to lead and represent their peers in a variety of contexts.
Some of our leadership opportunities are open to all, some are elected, and some involve an application and selection process. No matter the route, our student leaders continually make us proud each and every day.
Our Prefects are the highest level of our student leadership, helping the Academy in its day to day organisation and logistics as well as acting as representatives of the school at events. They have been selected because of their embodiment of our school ethos and core values. They are invaluable in supporting our academy culture and safe environment.
The Student Commission are elected representatives of the student community. Each year, elections to the Commission are run and tutor groups vote for their Student Commissioner. They meet regularly to discuss Academy decisions and consult the wider student body for their views. These are then communicated to the Academy Leadership Group.
The range of other opportunities available to our students include, but are not limited to: House Captains, Diversity Ambassadors, Eco-Reps, Reading Champions, Sports Captains, Stonewall Ambassadors and Student Librarians.
