Student Leadership

At Hinchingbrooke we value the impact that developing leadership skills can have for our students. We have sought to implement student roles that allow a wide range of students to practise and perfect their communication, cooperation, teamwork and leadership skills. Form reps, House reps, Anti-Bullying Mentors and Prefects are all roles available to students between Year 7 and Year 11. These roles facilitate near-peer mentoring, discussion and implementation of ideas, dissemination of messages to the wider community and a play a key role in the recognition and celebration culture which is embraced at Hinchingbrooke.

Sixth Form students are invited to apply for one of the Senior Student roles which include Head Students, House Captains, House Ambassadors and Student Co-ordinator. All of these roles have a key responsibility within the Sixth Form but also provide support, advice and guidance to the younger students across the whole school.

Any staff interviews that take place involve a student panel, as we value student involvement and feedback in our recruitment process.

School council vision statement 

At Hinchingbrooke School we want everyone to feel great physically, mentally, and emotionally. Our goal is to create a supportive and inclusive community where health and wellbeing are top priorities for all students, staff, and families. 

We believe that: 

  • Physical Health: Staying active and healthy is super important for doing well in school and growing as a person. We want to have lots of chances to join sports, inter-house events, fitness programmes, and wellness activities that help us stay strong and resilient
  • Mental Health: Feeling good mentally is key to learning and growing. We want a school where we can talk about our feelings openly and get help when we need it. Our school offers counselling, mindfulness practices, and programmes that help us build emotional intelligence and resilience
  • Community and Connection: Having strong relationships and feeling like we belong makes our school a better place. We want a community where respect, empathy, and kindness are always present, encouraging positive interactions and support among everyone 
  • Holistic Education: Learning is about more than just academics. We want our classes and activities to include health and wellbeing principles, so we can develop the skills and knowledge to lead balanced, fulfilling lives

Together, we aim to become confident, healthy, and compassionate individuals who are ready to face the future with resilience and grace.
