Student Leadership

"Leadership is the challenge to be something more than average"


Chertsey High believes in the power of student leadership, aiming to empower students, cultivate responsibility, and nurture tomorrow's leaders. Our student leaders are grown from when they first join us in Year 7 to when they have the opportunity to become Prefects in Year 11. Opportunities for leadership offered to students at Chertsey High include roles such as library assistant roles, mentoring, student action team representatives, book buddies, community contributor roles and sports leaders. However, we are always looking to build and develop the roles we offer as well as add new roles. 

By undertaking a leadership role, students can develop essential life skills, become advocates for student voice in decision-making, organise events and initiatives that promote a sense of community and support our students, school and environment. By embracing responsibility, empathy, and collaboration, our student leaders are prepared to excel academically and become ethical, compassionate leaders in the future.

I really enjoy working at CHS because of its strong sense of community and the supportive environment that allows both staff and students to thrive. For the students I teach, I want them to feel confident, curious, and empowered to take on challenges—both in the classroom and beyond.

I really like being a CHS student. Since joining in Year 7, I have made connections with many classmates and teachers too. Going into GCSE years, all my teachers have been extremely supportive and have fully explained all my wide options choices. I can now go in with full confidence that I can pass.

I really enjoy Chertsey High School, and I really think it is a welcoming school. I enjoy learning new subjects every day and all the staff are extremely kind and supportive if you don’t understand something in class. This is an amazing school altogether.

Year 9
I like the school because I enjoy the lessons especially art and drama because I can be creative and I can express myself. I also like doing the school musical each year because it’s something different to do and I get to learn new skills that I can use in future.
