Meet the Youths Choice Student Leadership Team

Meet the Youths Choice team. This group from Key Stages 4 and 5 encompasses our approach to Student Leadership and Student Voice at Global Academy.

At Global Academy, we believe in the significance of student leadership in schools. We recognise the positive impact it can have on creating a thriving school culture and helping to develop responsible, engaged citizens. Our unique approach to student leadership is demonstrated through our student-led content brand called ‘Youth’s Choice’, which empowers students to express their ideas and opinions through broadcast and content creation.

‘Youth’s Choice’ provides a platform for students to create and share content that is important to them, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. It is a powerful way to cultivate their leadership potential and develop communication skills, all while building their self-confidence and self-esteem. We believe that by empowering students to take ownership of their learning and creating content that speaks to their peers and the wider community, we are helping to prepare them for success in their future endeavours.

This approach to student leadership also demonstrates Global Academy’s commitment to teaching British Values. By providing students with a platform to express their ideas and opinions, we encourage them to participate in democracy and to understand the importance of free speech. Through collaboration and teamwork, students also develop a sense of mutual respect and tolerance, which are fundamental values of a cohesive and inclusive society.

In conclusion, at Global Academy, we are committed to promoting student leadership and providing a unique approach through ‘Youth’s Choice’. By empowering our students to express themselves through content creation and collaboration, we are helping them develop essential skills and values that will serve them well in the future, and in turn, contribute positively to our society.
