Student Leadership

At Mangotsfield School, we believe that student leadership is an important element to enable young people to realise their true potential.  Student leadership helps to build essential skills such as motivation and confidence and ensures that our students are developing vital skills and experiences that will enable them to be successful during their time at Mangotsfield School and beyond.  We also promote the development of a sense of social responsibility in our students by encouraging them to be meaningful contributors in the local and global community.  Many of our young people have outstanding leadership potential and, throughout their school career, we provide the opportunity for them to develop leadership qualities and skills.

This school year (2025/26) sees the launch of a new Student leadership model. Over the last couple of years, students have been taking a more active role in planning key events on site and we now are in position to develop a model where they can genuinely make positive changes to the school and develop their own leadership skills. 

• In September 2025, the Year 11 student leaders led by a team of Head Students and deputies have launched the process to the student body.
• Each mentor group has selected a representative (minimum one per group) to then work in the Student leadership team. 
• The student leadership teams now work as year group teams, supported by Year 11’s in deciding on a focus task- something they wish to change about the school and also a charity they want to raise money for. 
• The students leadership team will also play a big role in planning and running our Ethos weeks- Black History, Culture Week, Mental Health and Pride. 
• There will be one big meeting a term, with some smaller groups meeting in between.
