Student Leadership
At Saltley Academy, we are proud to have an established and dynamic Super Six Student Leadership Team. This team includes Rights and Respecting Ambassadors, Reading Ambassadors, Change Makers, Well-being Ambassadors, Eco-Council members, Voice 21 Ambassadors, as well as Prefects and Senior Prefect Representatives.
As student leaders, we strive to be positive role models for our peers, offering support, guidance, and inspiration throughout the school community. Our leadership is not just about titles, it’s about action, responsibility, and making a meaningful difference.
We contribute to school life in a variety of impactful ways:
•Reading Ambassadors lead after-school book clubs, helping to foster a love of reading.
•Eco-Council members champion environmental initiatives such as litter picking and global rights campaigns.
•Voice 21 Ambassadors produce and host the school’s podcast, giving students a platform to share their voices.
We are also proud to represent a Gold Rights Respecting School, and we aim to embody the values of respect, inclusion, and excellence in everything we do.
Our work is supported by a dedicated leadership team, and together we have organized and led numerous school events. We also play a key role in Parent Evenings, Open Evenings, and school assemblies, helping to highlight the spirit and achievements of Saltley Academy.
To us, leadership is more than just wearing a badge or a tie: it’s about developing the skills and mindset to lead with integrity and purpose. Through regular meetings, we collaborate, plan, and reflect on our initiatives. These experiences have helped us build essential life skills such as organization, planning, minute-taking, and decision-making, that will serve us well now and in the future.
Prefects and Senior Prefects take on enhanced responsibilities: demonstrating trustworthiness, honesty, and readiness to lead. We believe that every student has the potential to be a leader, and that the best leaders are also great listeners and learners.
Looking ahead, we are excited to continue growing as leaders and to collaborate with student leadership teams across our Multi Academy Trust, sharing ideas and learning from one another.
