Our Student Leadership Team
Head Student
Hi, my name is Leila, and I am a Head Student. I am currently studying Politics, History and English Literature as well as an EPQ. I enjoy each of my subjects and after Sixth Form I plan to go to university. Here, I hope to study Politics and International Relations to pursue my dream of International Law. I joined Year 12 as an external student, and it was the best decision I’ve made! Furze Platt has helped me to truly embrace my love for learning and that is all thanks to the teachers and opportunities that have are provided. Going into my final year I am ready to work my absolute hardest and encourage those around me to do the same. Although this year will not be without its struggles, I am confident that through the school's amazing support system all dreams will be achieved! I hope to develop the Furze Platt community so please feel free to talk to me - I will always try my best to help.
Head Student
Hello! – my name is Jayden, and I am one of our student leaders. I currently study English Literature, History and Politics A-Levels. I aspire to study History and Politics at University and one day hope to be involved in the world of politics. I am captain of the 1st team (Football) and scored a goal in our County Cup winning final in 2023. Furze Platt is an amazing place which has given me so many opportunities, so now it is time for me to give back to all the amazing people who have helped me along the way. Going into my seventh year at Furze Platt, I am sure there will be challenges for myself and my peers but I am certain together as a school and a community we can all achieve our goals. I am excited to take on this role as well as being involved in our support system alongside an amazing team of student leaders!
Deputy Senior Student
Hi! I’m Abbie, one of the Deputy Senior Students at Furze Platt. I am studying Psychology, English Literature and Fashion. After Sixth Form, I hope to go to university to study Journalism, moving that further into Fashion Journalism afterwards. Going into Year 13, I hope to be a role model to students in younger years and help wherever I can. I am an avid dancer, doing Ballroom and Latin since the age of 3. The school has supported me through all my championships and events, always wishing me luck and encouraging me to do my best. I am a strong believer that everyone has their ‘people’, and whoever you are, there is someone for you in our school. Having been here since Year 7, I admire the amazing students that have come before me and wish to carry on their legacy, making our school even better.
Deputy Senior Student
Hello, my name is Jack, and I am your Deputy Head Student. I have been at this school since Year 7 and I am currently studying Politics, Economics and English Literature A-levels and I hope to go on to study Accounting and Finance after Sixth Form. I really enjoy all kinds of sports and therefore want to bring my competitive spirit to the leadership team where I can personally make sure students get the best quality of learning at Furze Platt. No doubt school can be a challenging place but the staff here at Furze Platt have supported me and my peers over the past 6 years and I want to ensure that the high standards we have at this school, continue to produce an excellent school environment. I have also been a ‘sports leader’ for three years now and hope to encourage as many people as possible to take on new sports to help balance their studies. As a student leader I will always be there to aid my peers and hope to give something back to the school that has lifted me up for so many years!
Deputy Senior Student
Hello! My name is Luka, and I am one of Furze Platt’s Deputy Senior Students. I am studying English Literature, History, Philosophy & Religion, and Spanish at A-level. In the future, I hope to go to university to study English and Spanish. From joining in Year 7, I have quite literally seen our school grow into the community and place it is today. Your time here will go quickly, so I want to encourage you to make the most of the opportunities, get involved, and engage with your learning. Although I’ve got a busy year ahead, I look forward to facing the challenges of Year 13 and hope to inspire you too to work hard and make a difference. Furze Platt is an amazing school and community and just know if you ever have anything to say, feel free to let me know. I will always try my best to help.
