Student Leadership

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams. 

At Merstham Park School, our students are great inspirations to each other, the staff and the local community. Student leadership at MPS is encouraged in many aspects of school life, in supporting each other in lessons, encouraging positive actions around the school site, being a Subject Student Ambassador and being on the Student Leadership Council to name a few.

The Student Leadership Council comprises a student elected Head and Deputy Head Boy and Girl, a Student Council Leader and two representatives from each Learning Group. 

The SLC’s job is to:

• Be a Student Voice - contribute ideas that have a genuine effect on school policies

• Improve student well-being

• Represent the school

• Influence the school environment

• Raise money

• Improve student learning

Each subject will have Student Ambassadors, these will be teacher chosen and their role includes the following.

• Help teachers in subject areas

• Support other students

• Support / run subject house competitions

• Support / run break/lunch activities. e.g. sports/arts/music/book club

• Help with LM time activities

• Support subjects at open evenings
