At Chadwell Heath Academy, we don't just celebrate achievement, we celebrate effort, growth, and becoming the very best version of yourself.
Student Leadership
The ‘Student Leadership Team’ (SLT) consists of Form Captains, House Captains, and Prefects. In Key Stage 3, forms elect their form captains (two per form), in Key Stage 4 Hours Captains are elected and Prefects in Year 11. To be elected, students in years 7-9 must perform a speech to their form class. The form tutor will provide feedback to the Head of Year, where there will be discussion about who will take on the role from each form. House Captains must also complete an application form, where they demonstrate how they would be a good student leader of our school ethos. Prefects must complete an application form, have a teacher reference and attend an interview with a member of Senior Leadership. All pupils are provided with a job description and must sign a contract agreement with their Head of Year. This always demonstrates that they must uphold the Chadwell and Respect values of our school, as well as fulfilling their duties to a good standard. Once elected the pupils form the Student Leadership Team who meeting every other week to bring to the table the student voice.
