11 SUMMER NEWSLETTER 2025 STUDENTLEADERSHIP Year 11 Student Leadership Team 2025/2026 We would like to introduce our Year 11 Student Leadership Team for the 2025 / 2026 school year. They have introduced themselves to students in Years 7, 8 and 9 and are looking forward to having positive impacts on the school community. Head Students Alessandro O, Evangeline K, Kian K Literacy / Charity Prefects Joshua B, Samuel M Bright Leaders Within Programme We are extremely proud to share that 21 of our Year 10 students have been selected to take part in the Bright Leaders Within course. This opportunity was offered to students who submitted exceptional applications for Head Student roles - each demonstrating maturity, ambition and a strong desire to contribute to our school community. As a reward for their efforts, and in recognition of their potential, these students have been invited to participate in a six-week leadership development programme designed to equip them with the tools, confidence and mindset to become outstanding leaders in Year 11 and beyond. Each session is interactive and reflective, encouraging students to learn not only from the course materials but also from each other. The first session took place on Thursday 12th June in school, and it was a fantastic start. We are confident that this experience will empower them to take on leadership responsibilities in school next year - whether as Head Students, prefects, peer mentors, or ambassadors - and also equip them with valuable life skills for sixth form, college, university and beyond. We’re excited to see how they continue to grow and lead in the coming weeks! Deputy Head Students Daniel N, Olivia K, Tatyana N Events / Community Prefects Ellie D, Lewis A Tackling Online Exploitation - Finals Day Visit On Thursday 8th May, Mr Whitehead and Miss Salisbury accompanied five Year 9 and four Year 10 students to Manchester Metropolitan University, where our Year 9 team took part in a finals day event, pitching their initiative to tackle online child exploitation in Greater Manchester. This event was organised by Manchester City Council and supported by the Mayor, aiming to raise awareness and promote youth-led solutions to this serious issue. Our students presented a project called SeekSafe, which proposed a creative campaign to raise awareness of child exploitation through a city-wide scavenger hunt, supported by eye-catching posters distributed across Greater Manchester. Their innovative idea and confident delivery were a real credit to Thornleigh. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and the way they conducted themselves throughout the day.
