Chelsea Academy is firmly committed to involving students in the leadership and development of their school. This is because we recognise that students, teachers and associate staff are equal partners in learning.
As well as participating in the planning and delivery of lessons, every student is expected to contribute in other ways. Some are prefects who help support the smooth running of the Academy, while others are peer mentors who advise and support younger students.
There is a School Council and a Student Leadership Group working with senior staff to improve all aspects of the Academy. Other students are trained so they can contribute to improving what goes on in the classroom by carrying out lesson observations and acting as Student Curriculum Advisers. Some students have an opportunity to play a part in appointing staff.
Involving students in their own education helps them take responsibility and know how to organise their time and their learning. They learn how to work with others, including adults, in a positive way, and they develop precisely the skills and attitudes which universities and employers will be looking for in the future.
