Welcome from our new Student Leaders

We are delighted to introduce this year’s Sixth Form Head Students – a team of passionate, driven individuals who embody the values and spirit of the Wilmington Grammar Schools and WG6. Representing both long-standing and new members of our community, they bring a wealth of experience, fresh perspectives, and a shared commitment to making a positive impact. Four Head Students are elected at each school site with dedicated areas of responsibilitiy for either WGSG or WGSB but all share leadership duties of WG6.

As leaders of the Student Senior Leadership Team (SSLT), they will play a key role in shaping student voice, championing inclusion, and strengthening the bridge between students and staff. Their vision is rooted in collaboration, empowerment, and the belief that every student should feel seen, heard, and supported.

Below, each Head Student shares a personal introduction — their journey, their motivations, and the legacy they hope to leave. We’re incredibly proud of their dedication and can’t wait to see the difference they’ll make this year.

Hi, I’m Alfie, and I’m really proud to be Head Student at WGSB. Since joining the school, I’ve always admired how strong our sense of community is, and I’m passionate about helping it grow even further. One of my main goals this year is to make sure our school feels inclusive to everyone, where every student feels valued and supported.

As a PE subject ambassador, I’m especially keen to strengthen connections across the school through sport, which I believe is a great way to bring people together and build confidence and teamwork. I also want to see a diverse range of opportunities available to all students both academic and sporting so everyone can find something they’re passionate about and can thrive in.

I’m always open to hearing new ideas on how we can make school life even better, and I’m really looking forward to working with staff and students to make WGSB an even more connected, inclusive, and an inspiring place to learn.

Hello, my name is Arahi and as a Head Student of Wilmington Grammar School for Boys, I am honoured to represent our school and contribute to its vibrant community. I strive to lead with integrity, enthusiasm and a commitment to inclusivity, ensuring that all our students feel valued and supported. I believe that true success comes with collaboration, respect and understanding. Since joining the school, I have been inspired by the strong sense of community and the dedication of both staff and students to uphold our school’s values. One of my main priorities this year is to promote equality throughout the school and to encourage stronger connections between younger and older students. We hope to achieve this by developing more understanding thought clubs, mentoring and community activities. By strengthening these bonds, I believe we can continue to make Wilmington Grammar School for Boys a place where every student can grow, succeed and feel a genuine sense of belonging. I am always open to new ideas and eager to listen to the student body, as I believe the best progress comes from working together as one community.

Hello, my name is Mila and I am delighted to introduce myself as Deputy Head Student at WGSB. Since joining the school, I have been inspired by the staff’s commitment to their PRIDE values and have aspired to play a role in representing the student body. My main goal is to be a supportive voice for all the students here in order to create an inclusive and progressive environment. As a teaching and learning leader, I am passionate about ensuring every single student has the opportunity to thrive academically, and so I hope to implement ideas such as academic tutoring and societies to enrich learning. Additionally, I will work on connecting older and younger students through clubs and tutoring led by sixth form leaders in order to establish a connection throughout the school and introduce role models for the younger students to look up to. I am always open and more than happy to find new ways to improve student’s experience at school by listening to any suggestions put forward, and I am looking forward to working alongside staff and other students from our community at WG6.

Hi, my name is Leroy . I am honoured to serve as deputy Head Boy at Wilmington Grammar School for Boys. Having been a part of this school community since Year 7, I’ve had the opportunity to grow and develop alongside my peers, personally experiencing the values, support, and community that make our school so special.

Now, as Deputy Head , I’m proud to represent my peers across all year groups and give back to a community that has helped shape who I am today. In addition to my leadership role, I also work as an Equality and Diversity Leader, a position that reflects my belief that every student deserves to feel seen, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential.

My goal is to encourage students to be open to speak, celebrate achievements, and strengthen the sense of unity that defines Wilmington Grammar. I hope that through my time as deputy Head Boy, I can inspire others throughout the school to embrace equality, take pride in their differences. I hope to achieve this by working closely with students and teachers.

Hello everyone, we wanted to take a moment to introduce ourselves as the new Head Students of WGSG for this year. We feel incredibly honoured to step into these roles and are excited to work with the rest of the SSLT to make a meaningful difference in our school community. This is a chance for us to share a little bit about who we are, what we stand for, and the impact we hope to have during our time as Head Students.

My name is Binu, and I have been part of Wilmington Grammar School for Girls since Year 7. Over the years, I’ve seen first-hand how our school community fosters ambition, celebrates diversity, and encourages every student to reach their full potential. Being part of this journey from the very beginning has given me a deep appreciation for the REACH values of our school, as well as a strong determination to continue shaping its future.

My name is Shanyce, and I joined WGSG as an external student. It was the supportive and welcoming environment of WGSG that made my transition into this school seamless and motivated me to play an active role within the community. That sense of belonging is something I want to strengthen for all students, especially those who are newer to our school. 

As Head Students, we are proud to represent such a dynamic and inspiring student body. Working alongside the wider SSLT, our goal is to ensure that every voice is heard and that meaningful change takes place where it is needed. This year, we hope to build on the school’s strengths by promoting equality, encouraging student-led initiatives, and supporting an environment where everyone feels empowered to contribute. We also hope to increase opportunities for students to share their ideas and experiences, so that everyone feels empowered to contribute to the life of the school.

Good afternoon, we are the Deputy Head Students of WGSG for this academic year. We are incredibly grateful to have received these roles allowing us to make a tangible contribution to our school’s community. Here we would like to introduce ourselves a little bit and talk about our motivations, so you can get a better picture of who the head are. 

My name is William, I have joined WGSG as an external student. Coming to a new school for sixth form is very nerve racking, however the wonderful community and support here made the transition feel seamless. Due to this, I made it my mission to try to give back to this school and assist in creating lasting change for the better. My main goal is to promote communication and transparency between students and teachers at WGSG; to do this I plan to work closely with the SSLT to bring about this improvement in the school environment. 

Hi all! I’m Iman, and I have been a part of WGSG since Year 7. Having grown up within this supportive and inspiring community, I’ve been able to see firsthand how much student voice can shape our school experience. As Deputy Head Student, I’m passionate about making sure every student feels heard and represented. I want to help create an environment where ideas and feedback from all year groups are valued and acted upon. Working alongside the Staff Senior Leadership Team as well as the Student Leadership Team, my aim is to strengthen the sense of unity and ensure that our school continues to be a place where everyone can thrive and feel proud to belong. 

We recognise the importance of being role models for the younger years and want to show them that leadership is not just about holding a title but about serving others and leaving a positive impact. Our hopes for the future are simple but powerful: to inspire students to be confident in their ambitions, to nurture a community where kindness and respect are at the heart of everything, and to create a legacy of progress that future students can carry forward.

Recently, we have been taking part in Student Leadership meetings – planning events, activities and peer mentoring schemes as well as supporting or leading with a number of lower school clubs and societies.
