Head Students

I am delighted to have been appointed as Head Student at Marriotts School, a role I embrace with great enthusiasm and responsibility. I am currently studying A Level Biology, Geography, German, and Core Maths, a combination of subjects that reflects my diverse academic interests and deep passion for the environment. I aspire to study Environmental Science at Cambridge or another prestigious Russell Group university, where I hope to expand my understanding of the complex relationship between human activity and the natural world. My goal is to contribute to global sustainability efforts and play an active role in addressing the environmental challenges our planet faces.

My name is Iona, and I am currently serving as Head Student at Marriotts School. I am studying Philosophy & Ethics, Psychology, and Child Development, each of which deepens my understanding of human behaviour, ethical reasoning, and how we grow and develop as individuals. My academic focus is on Psychology, which I hope to study at university. I am passionate about understanding how the mind works and how psychological principles can be applied to improve people’s lives. This ambition drives my studies, as I aim to contribute positively to the field in the future.
As Head Student, my role holds great significance to me because it offers a platform to actively contribute to the well-being of our school community. I want to foster a positive environment where every student feels valued, heard, and supported, ensuring that no one is left behind. It’s important to me that students not only excel academically but also develop the personal confidence and skills they need to pursue any path they choose in life, whether it's further education, employment, or other ventures.
I will be working closely with the sixth form team and engaging in peer mentoring to strengthen the school’s sense of community. In this role, I hope to act as a bridge between students and staff, ensuring that students’ voices are amplified, and their concerns are addressed. By creating an open and supportive atmosphere, I aim to help students grow both personally and academically, so that when they leave our school, they are equipped with the knowledge, resilience, and independence needed to succeed in whichever path they choose.

My name is George, and I am honoured to serve as Head Student at Marriotts School. Currently, I am studying Film Studies, Business, and Sport Studies, each of which fuels different aspects of my academic and personal growth. Film Studies allows me to explore my passion for storytelling and visual creativity, while Business helps me develop a strong understanding of management and leadership, skills that are essential for my future. Sport Studies adds another dimension, emphasising teamwork, discipline, and the importance of physical and mental well-being. My ultimate goal is to study Film Production at university, where I can bring my creative ideas to life and further hone my craft.
Being appointed as Head Boy is an exciting opportunity for me, not only to contribute to the school community but also to push myself beyond my comfort zone. One of my main goals in this role is to develop my confidence and management skills by taking on new responsibilities and leading initiatives that can have a lasting impact. I see this position as a chance to inspire others and create a positive change within the school, ensuring that the voices of all students are heard.
Working alongside the sixth form team, I am committed to driving improvements that benefit the entire school. Whether it’s implementing new ideas, resolving issues, or organising events, I aim to be an active and approachable leader who students can turn to with their concerns or suggestions. By encouraging open communication, I hope to empower students to express their opinions and take ownership of their school experience. Together, we can make meaningful changes that enhance the learning environment and create a more inclusive, supportive community.

Senior Students

My name is Kian, and I am currently studying Maths, Further Maths, and Physics as part of my preparation for university. These subjects not only challenge me intellectually but also allow me to develop a deep understanding of both abstract concepts and practical problem-solving techniques. My ambition is to study a joint Maths and Physics course at university, with a particular goal of attending the University of York. The university's academic reputation, alongside its research opportunities, makes it an ideal place for me to deepen my knowledge and work towards achieving a degree that will open doors to my dream career in a STEM field.

In addition to my academic journey, I am actively involved in the senior student council. In this role, I am passionate about fostering a stronger connection between teachers and students. I believe that open dialogue and collaboration are essential in creating a learning environment where everyone feels heard and respected. I aim to give a platform to those students whose voices may have previously gone unheard, ensuring that their perspectives are considered in decisions that impact the school. By building this collaborative bridge, I hope to contribute to a more inclusive and supportive school atmosphere.

My name is Joshua, and I am currently studying A-level Math, History, and BTEC Applied Science at sixth form. These subjects challenge me in different ways—Math helps me develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, History teaches me to analyse and understand complex contexts, and Applied Science offers practical knowledge and hands-on experience that I believe will serve me well in the future.
Once I complete my studies, my goal is to join the Fire Service. The idea of serving my community, protecting lives, and working in a role that requires both physical and mental strength is something I find incredibly fulfilling. It’s a profession that demands teamwork, resilience, and a willingness to act decisively in emergency situations, which aligns with my personal values.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I am a member of the senior student council. In this role, I work to represent the voices of my fellow students, ensuring that their concerns are heard and addressed. I believe it’s important to create a positive environment for everyone, where students feel valued and can make the most of their time at school. Through my position, I aim to contribute to meaningful changes that enhance the overall school experience for all students.

I am currently studying A Level Geography, Biology, History, and Core Maths—subjects that align with my deep interest in the past and our natural world. After sixth form, I aspire to study Archaeology at either Durham or York University, both of which are renowned for their rich academic programs in this field. My passion for uncovering and understanding human history, coupled with my love for science, drives me to pursue a career that bridges the past and present. As Senior Student, I am eager to work alongside my peers and teachers to create a positive, inclusive environment where every student feels supported and encouraged to pursue their ambitions.
