  • 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.

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. If you have any questions, ask me at 6thStudentleaders@marling.school
