Student Leadership
Our Sixth Form Student Leadership Team at The Castle Rock Sixth Form is led by two elected Head Students, supported by a group of Sixth Form Leadership Representatives. Together, they represent student voice and lead initiatives that benefit the whole school community. This team also coordinates the wider Student Leadership structure, which includes representatives from every year group across the school. Through regular meetings and collaborative projects, they help shape a positive school culture and drive meaningful change. This leadership opportunity is open to all Sixth Form students, offering a platform for personal development, responsibility, and active engagement in school life.
