Our Student Leadership Team
Head Student
Hi, my name is Sophie, and I am proud to be Head Student for 2025/2026. I have been a student at Furze Platt since Year 7, and I have truly loved my time here. The school has given me so many opportunities to grow - from completing extra GCSEs to achieving my Gold DofE Award. This was only possible with the support of the teachers. I am currently studying A Level Maths, Biology and PE and hope to go on to study Biomedical Sciences at university. My ambition is to work in the healthcare or pharmaceutical sector. Outside of lessons, I absolutely love sport. I find the process of working hard towards a goal very rewarding, and I plan to bring that same drive and determination to my role as Head Student. I am always happy to listen and help, whether it’s school-related or not. Furze Platt is an incredible place to study and so I am looking forward to giving back to this community.
Head Student
Hello, my name is Ed, and I am one of Furze Platt’s Head Students. I have studied here since Year 7 and I am taking A-level Maths, Physics, Chemistry and EPQ. Following my A levels I plan to go to university, where I hope to study Chemistry. Over the past six years I have grown with the school, witnessing milestone events including the construction of our English/ Science block and theatre - something that really ages me! What I want to focus on as a senior student is not this physical growth, but growing the school as a community through supporting existing mentoring schemes, and also charity drives where I can. Undoubtedly over the next year my peers and I will face challenges, but I am excited to take on the role and positive that we will work hard to give back to our school, to make this year one to remember.
Deputy Senior Student
Hi! I’m Sara, one of Furze Platt’s Deputy Senior Students. I’m studying Business Studies, Fashion and Textiles, and Media Studies with the hopes of going to university to pursue a degree in Marketing. Being in Furze Platt for 7 years has really helped me come out of my shell and embrace and learn so much. I am a firm believer that the school community has so much to offer and I’m so grateful for the opportunities I have been presented with. Saying this, I can’t emphasise enough how important it is that you go for every opportunity that is presented to you, as we are all here to support you in your time here, and I’m more than excited to work in helping out the school.
Deputy Senior Student
Hi! My name is Fred, and I am one of the Deputy Head Students at Furze Platt. I am currently studying Politics, Religious Studies and Geography at A-Level. At university, I hope to study Politics and pursue a career in political advisory or campaigning. Having been at FPSS since Year 7, I have had the chance to see this school develop and grow into the wonderful community we have today. It has given me many opportunities and has truly shaped me into a better person. That’s why I want to give back to our community and ensure everyone can make the most of their time here. Whether supporting in Gardening Club or representing students on the school council, I aim to be a voice for all - especially those who are struggling or may need some extra support. I will bring my commitment to youth representation, as Chair of the RBWM Youth Council, into how I advocate for students here. Year 13 will surely be challenging, but I’m confident that we can succeed as the strong, supportive community we are.
Deputy Senior Student
Hi, my name is Archie and I am a Deputy Senior Student. I am currently studying Economics, Geography, and Criminology in Sixth Form and outside of school I work in a kitchen. After school, I hope to study Economics at university and pursue a career in Finance and Economics. I joined the school in Year 7 and since then I have seen the school grow whilst also growing myself to become the person I am today. I hope to use my experience to help all students to feel comfortable and able to succeed. Feel free to talk to me about any of your issues and I will try my best to help.
