Student Leadership
Aldworth Science College has a third specialism as a 'Leadership Partner School'. Students are encouraged to take leadership roles and responsibilities such as Student Council Representative, Sports Captain, Department Assistants, Prefect and Senior Prefect, Head Boy/Girl and Peer Mentoring. There is also a student magazine, called Noted.
To encourage pupils to take part in Student Leadership activities, a scheme has been introduced which enables students to record their achievements and receive leadership certificates. A Student Leadership Evidence Booklet has been introduced to record activities. The booklet has five stages for the students to complete. In order to complete a stage, each student needs to collect evidence, which is then recorded in the booklet. At the end of each academic year, students may receive a certificate to show that they have achieved that stage of leadership and be rewarded with a school trip.

“What is the student but a lover courting a fickle mistress who ever eludes his grasp?”
—Sir William Osler (1849–1919)
“This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence. We don’t dare follow the Lindberghs, Wheelers and Nyes, casting suspicion, sowing discord around the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt. We don’t want revolution among ourselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
