Our Young Leaders spearhead our Pupil Teams. Each team seeks to enact positive change, within the school community and beyond, as we pursue our Christian vision. They lead campaigns, organise events, and play a significant role in the life of the school.

We support our young leaders to flourish in their roles, empowering them to make decisions and providing them with the opportunity to complete the Archbishop of York Youth Trust's Young Leaders Award.
