Welcome to Woodkirk Academy

The Student Leadership Group (SLG) is made up of carefully selected representatives from each year group, led by the Junior Head Boy and Junior Head Girl. The SLG meets regularly to give all students in school a voice. As well as serving as a mechanism for student consultation over proposed changes to school routines, it also provides a forum for all students to contribute their ideas and suggestions for further improving the experience of all young people in school.

The SLG is made up of:

• Junior Head Boy and Junior Head Girl (Year 11 Students);
• Student Year Leader and Deputy Year Leader (Year 10 Students);
• Student Year Leader and Deputy Year Leader (Year 9 Students);
• Student Year Leader and Deputy Year Leader (Year 8 Students);
• Student Year Leader and Deputy Year Leader (Year 7 Students).
