Head Student Welcome 

Welcome to National Church of England Academy.  

We are the Head Students for 2026-2027: Riella, Eloise and Kyra. Our responsibilities within this role collectively are to uphold the ARCH values of aspiration, respect, compassion, humility, wisdom and service, parallel with the Academy’s vision of “life in all its fullness” (John 10:10). We will consistently aim to give every student a voice, celebrate what makes us unique, support each other and work together to make our school community more grounded and welcoming for everyone.

We each decided to apply for this role because we all felt as if we could all make a positive and enlightening change to our school community. Recognising our individual skills and values, but more importantly, the shared values and collective strengths that unite us in our ambition to drive meaningful change.

This year, as Head Students, we will play an active role in Open Days, welcoming Year 7 and Year 11 students and giving them the opportunity to learn more about what the National and Sixth Form have to offer. Alongside this, we will bring forward our own goals, ideas and perspectives through meetings and assemblies, ensuring that student voices are consistently heard and valued. We will also support younger students throughout the school year by acting as approachable and positive role models, helping them to feel welcomed, included and confident within all aspects of the school community, enhancing a positive and supportive school environment.

Kyra, Riella and Eloise
