“Hi, my name is Jasmine, and I am one of the Head Students. The main objective of my role is to encourage student participation in activities across the school, which includes running the Student Led Tutor Time programme, and being deputy chair of the student council. I am studying Sociology, Psychology, English Literature, and a Breadth option in EPQ, in which I am writing a report on the subject ‘Can stereo-types influence sentencing within Court?’. In my time as head student, I hope to continue to keep the school as diverse and accepting as it can be and strive towards encouraging students to get involved, increasing personal development and growth. So far this year, I have been a part of the girls’ football team in school, as well as playing for a team outside, and have attended chess club. After leaving Marling School, I hope to go on to study Law at University, and eventually work towards becoming a barrister in the future. If you have any questions, ask me at 6thStudentleaders@marling.school
“I’m Giovanni and I’m one of the Head Students, focusing on Student Voice. As part of this role I am Chair of the Student Council. I’m currently studying Biology, Chemistry, English Literature and History. My main aims in this role are to make sure Marling students’ voices are not only heard but listened to, and to do what I can to make positive change happen. I’m really hoping to make Marling thrive as a community. I’m fascinated by the sciences, so am a member of both Chemistry Society and Dissection Club, but I also enjoy humanities-based activities such as Model UN. When I leave Marling, I hope to study law and become a criminal barrister as I am interested in the role of the justice system in our lives.

“Hi, I’m Chandra and I am Deputy Head of Student Engagement. I currently study French, History, English Literature and EPQ as my breadth option. I hope that I can help make every student become an active member in the Marling community, so as part of my role, I help run student-led tutor times and provide opportunities that give every student a chance to express their voice and create an environment in which they will grow. At Marling I take part in the Mentoring and Coaching Programme, the early applicant group, the sign language course, and I am a language ambassador. Outside of school I enjoy playing the piano and I am on the forum for the young carers’ charity. After A Levels, I hope to study languages and history at university. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Please send them to: 6thStudentleaders@marling.school
“I’m Oliver and am Deputy Head of Culture and Inclusion. I am currently studying English Literature, History, Politics and a breadth option in Creative Writing. During my time as Head of Culture and Inclusion, I hope to encourage acceptance and celebration of all cultures, religions, races, genders and backgrounds and to create thriving place of education where every student feels that they are spoken for. Originating from a mixed ethnic minority background myself, I believe that all individuals should have the confidence to express their identity without the fear of judgement or the denial of equal opportunity. I currently partake in a range of extracurricular activities, some of which include The Early Applicant Support Group, Model UN, football and the Law Society, which I chair. In the future, I plan on studying a degree in law as I have always taken an interest in its intricacies and thoroughly enjoy reading.

“Hi I’m Josh - Deputy Head Student of Environment and I’m studying Physics, Computing, Maths and Further Maths. I am working with the Eco Committee to improve the school’s response to climate change and other environmental issues we face. One thing we are focusing on is developing a more sustainable culture within the school. I enjoy chess club and in my own time playing the piano and rifle shooting.

“Hi I’m Maggie and I study Physics, English Literature and History. My main role is to organise and promote charity events. I hope to work and collaborate with the students as I believe it is vital to have student input on ideas in order to maximise involvement with these events and emphasise the importance of getting involved. Additionally, my goal is to use this role to bring attention to important issues through the events we hold and charities we support. After finishing my A Levels, I plan to take a year out to spend time travelling round either Europe or South America before I go to university to hopefully study Architecture as I am interested in changing the way council housing is built in the UK. I’m involved with the school production; early applicants support group and foreign film club which have all helped in building my confidence. Outside of school I play piano and bass guitar and I hope to continue developing my musical skills. If you have any questions, ask me at 6thStudentleaders@marling.school
