Ms. Cooper, who also oversaw the interview process, echoed this enthusiasm: "Our student leadership team this year is formidable; led by a strong group of Head Students and Senior Prefects who all interviewed with maturity above their years. I can't wait to see them take on their new roles in September."

An exceptional group of Year 10s have been appointed as Head Students for the next academic year. Caspar, Austin, Antony, Casey, and Leah “distinguished themselves through a rigorous application process and are ready to lead their peers with distinction” added Mr. Milford, Principal.

The school also announced its new Student Union Representatives for 2024-2025. Eleanor will take on the role of President, with Dawson and Freddy as Vice Presidents.

This team is set to bring fresh ideas and dynamic leadership to TKASA 6th Form.
