A new team of student leaders have been selected following a ‘rigorous’ day-long selection process at Cromwell Community College.

Sixth formers performed in a variety of tasks to prove they were up to the job.

The first senior head girl at Cromwell is Ellen Turner and the first senior head boy is Tom Bedford. They said they are thrilled to be offered the post and are excited at the prospect of working with the pupils, staff and governors.

Pupils in Year 10 also underwent a selection process to be chosen as junior head girl and junior head boy. Connie Snow and Luke Parnell impressed the panel and were selected for the role.

Principal Jane Horn said: “We are very excited about our new student leadership structure.

“All of the students who participated in the selection process did a fantastic job and the final decision was a difficult one to make.

“I am very proud of all of the candidates but especially of those selected.

“I am looking forward to working with them during their term of office.”
