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.
