We encourage our students and families to look ahead
Being part of the Student Leadership Team is a distinct accolade that shows each individual chosen portrays the core values of: Resilience, Achievement and Family that we adhere to at Sanders Draper.
It is our collective duty to be outstanding role models which the lower school students can aspire to.
Upon becoming a Prefect, it is an honour to wear the prestigious black tie, making us easily identifiable around the school.
School president - Meadow
In my role as Student President, I help lead the student body and ensure student voices are clearly heard across the school. I work closely with the Vice Presidents, Prefect team and SLT to share ideas, represent students, and support positive change.
I am committed to creating an inclusive, confident and supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their ideas. I strongly believe in our school values of resilience, achievement and family helping students overcome challenges, celebrate success, and support one another.
This role is my way of giving back to a community that has given me so much and I hope to leave a lasting impact where every student feels they belong and can reach their full potential. Thank you for reading.
Our vice presidents - Jasper, Alex, and Frankie
As Vice Presidents, we play an active role in supporting the leadership of the school and clearly communicating new ideas between our student voice, the Prefect team and SLT. We regularly coordinate responsibilities, and strive to maintain a positive and organised school environment.
We are also involved in planning and delivering events that bring the school community together, featuring student-led initiatives. Through these opportunities, we wish to provide memorable experiences for everyone and make the learning experience at Sanders more gratifying.
As a team we play an active role in leading the Prefect body, communicating with four different sub-teams, and running the team as a whole. We continually work to develop, innovate, and share new ideas through regular prefect meetings, ensuring student voice remains at the heart of school development.
All groups are constantly working hard to come up with new ideas and they share these at least once a week during prefect meetings.
Prefects have been working extremely hard to make our school an event more enjoyable experience for all and a place where everyone feels comfortable and welcome.
The student leadership team is split into four groups:
Student Events; this includes performing assemblies, supporting events and working closely with the House Representatives as well as the House System as a whole.
Literacy; overseeing and improving whole school literacy, coordinating reading buddies, organising spelling competitions, ad monitoring literacy during form time
Student matters - Wellbeing and rewards; collecting feedback from students about how to further our efforts with wellbeing and rewards within the school, monitoring achievement point during period 6 and supporting form tutors with rewards
Student matters - Teaching & Learning; gathering students' opinions about curriculum, providing constructive feedback to Heads of Faculty, designing questionnaires and organising interviews.

Literacy Team
Hi everyone! We are Ava, Emily, Alex, Rafe, Ellie and Kacie - your Literacy Prefect Team. Our aim is to drive whole-school literacy by working closely with the English department and supporting students across all year groups, with a particular focus on Key Stage 3. We lead reading initiatives, organise engaging competitions, and provide support during form time to help younger students build strong foundations in reading, writing and communication. We also support older students in Key stage 4, by helping to signpost useful resources and revision strategies. Above all, we hope to inspire a genuine enjoyment of reading across the school and help students develop the confidence and skills they need to succeed both in lessons and beyond.
