Junior Leadership Team

Leading our Junior Leadership Team this year are our Head Students and Deputy Head Student who have been successful in their application amongst impressive competition in year 11. Their recruitment process consisted of a letter of application and a formal interview with Ms Lobbett and Mrs Palmer. We would like to congratulate the students on their new role.   

Zuzanna Czarnecka - Head Student  

This year, as my role as Head Student I'm going to strive to uphold the school's values through open conversations and emotionally supporting younger students through Prefect Chatter and by positive interactions through my help with Dance club. I look forward to an amazing year with Castle.

Tommie Costin - Head Student 

I am Tommie Costin. As Head Student at The Castle School my aim has always been to improve this school for its students and hope that I am able to, in some way, achieve this goal for the betterment of the school.

Anna Little - Deputy Head Student 

As your new Deputy Head Student I will try my best to lead the student body alongside the other Prefects. My main priority is trying to find ways to improve the wellbeing of everyone in the community, especially through my Anti-Bullying Club. A bit about me; I am very academic but I also enjoy Taekwondo after school on a Thursday and gaming on my Nintendo Switch!

Three choices of a charity and ‘active’ focus was decided by each year group and was then sent to the student vote via a google form.

 

The results of each year group vote is as follows: 

Of those 144 students many students are working within a JLT sub-group area to make specific improvements to specific area of the school. They are:
