Student Leadership

We pride ourselves on having a culture that is built upon freedom and equality, where the student voice is heard on matters of importance such as how the school is run. The Student Leadership Group (SLG) discusses and decides on issues that matter to the students and are important to the whole school, giving students the chance to make a real difference to the smooth running of Langdon Park School. It encourages students to be active citizens by building self-confidence, learning how to treat others, making decisions and developing leadership responsibility on behalf of the student cohort.

Students are also asked to complete a survey three times in the academic year. The changes made based on student feedback is always shared with the students.

Each student and staff member is provided with a ballot card where they can vote for a President, Head Boy and Head Girl.

We have prefects in years 11 and 13 who support the running of the school as well as providing support for other students. All our prefects complete the LPS student leadership programme, which includes training for running tours and public speaking.
