I have prepared for this role by getting involved in the House Captain interviews and helping to select a few of the applicants for the role. I also have set out my ideas of how I can make the House Captains lives as easy as possible. I have already planned out my ideas for the upcoming year so I am prepared and ready to carry them out. I hope I can bring each House Captain together to feel like a team and to hopefully expand my leadership skills further. I feel like what I’ll enjoy about the role the most is being able to watch and support others, seeing them achieve what they wanted at the end of the House events. One thing I really enjoy doing is helping others and this role is perfect for that. I also love seeing the students enjoy themselves in the House events and seeing what they get out of it. My new role at means I aspire to be a role model and ambassador for our school and work with the students and teachers. I plan to consistently work with my cluster to the best of my ability, meaning I meet them twice a month and communicate regularly via group emails. I will also be working with students lower down the school on events and to improve communication of ideas, ensuring we all get a say. I am planning a new system for the school giving students a chance to show off what they are good at. Whether it’s history, French, dance or maths, they will get to focus on their talents and utilise them for big events. I will enjoy working with the other year groups to create something amazing and guide/encourage confidence in the student ideas. Also seeing students enjoy themselves (even if we get stupidly stressed) would make me so proud. My role is as a Head of School, as Leading House Ambassador. In my role, I will be heading up the charity cluster which is an honour, especially for a cause which I’m so passionate about, and I will be attached to the year 9 school council which will allow me to get to hear the opinions of younger students, and hopefully bridge the gap between us. From a young age I’ve had a very keen interest in mental health and it’s a cause very close to my heart. Through running the charity cluster, I’m looking forward to having a prominent role in school fundraising, especially for such a fantastic mental health organisation. By the time I leave in Year 13, I hope to have made my mark at Stanborough with regards to mental health, through raising awareness, uniting all in tackling it, and by getting more young people talking about it. My role also includes ‘in-lesson’ support coordination, which I’m pleased to be taking on as I think it’s a great way to strengthen the relationship between the lower school and post-16, with benefits for both. I’ll be leading the extra-curricular cluster and helping to organise events, clubs and a new student-penned newspaper. I’ve prepared for this role by talking to other students about the type of activities that they would like to see the school offer outside of lessons, as well as talking to teachers about the kinds of things we can do to make it happen. I’m actually a very competitive person and I guess that I work best under pressure. Much like during my time as one of Ashridge’s House Captains, I hope to see more people getting involved in things around the school and local community. I think that the most enjoyable part of being a Head of School will be discussing things with the different people that I am hoping to meet, both students and teachers. Throughout my time at Stanborough, I have been involved in leadership roles which have prepared me to take on this role. So far, this role is definitely a step-up from anything that I’ve done before but it’s the challenge that makes it so interesting! I think I will most enjoy building good relationships with the teachers but also, most importantly, the students. Through these relationships, I am looking forward to passing on the experiences and knowledge I have gained from the last 6 years, to then aid others in achieving their potential. In my eyes, one of the most rewarding things is seeing the successes of others and so this will definitely be the most enjoyable aspect for me.

Students who show an interest in and aptitude for mathematics are entered in the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust Maths Challenges at the appropriate level each year. The top performers nationally are awarded Bronze, Silver and Gold certificates and the highest scorers qualify for additional follow-on rounds. Over half of the Stanborough students entered each year earn certificates and we normally have at least one follow-on round qualifier from each challenge. Very occasionally, outstanding performance in follow-on rounds has led to invitations to join external mentoring schemes and prestigious summer schools.
A number of students in each year group are selected to represent the school in team mathematics competitions. In Years 7 and 8, two teams of four students compete in the Hertfordshire County Team Challenges and these have gone on to the final of the competition on several occasions. A mixed team of Year 8 and Year 9 students take part in the UKMT Team Maths Challenge Regional Final each year, which is always very competitive. We also enter two teams in the AMSP Year 10 Team Maths Competition and one in the UKMT/ AMSP Senior Maths Challenge each year.
In addition, we send two Year 9 students to the Royal Institution Maths Masterclasses which take place at the University of Hertfordshire each year.
Trips are also a regular occurrence in maths. Students attend Maths Inspiration shows as well as other popular lectures, such as those hosted by the London Mathematical Society and the Cambridge Science Festival. Students regularly attend Year 10 and Year 12 Enrichment Days organised by the Advanced Maths Support Programme and the Millennium Maths Project.
A maths enrichment club meets weekly to enable students of all ages to work on extended projects, play mathematical games and solve mathematical problems and puzzles.
