Student Leadership
Vision & Milestones
The student leadership pathway promotes positive leadership and an emphasis on the Character Curriculum of our school. We want our students to be aspiring leaders who uphold our school values — 'Aspire, Work Hard, Be Kind' — aiding their academic, social and personal development; bringing Bulwell together and improving our school community.

How can I become a Student Leader?
In the summer term of every year, we elect new student leaders, following a rigorous application process including putting together campaign videos and speeches, a whole school vote and, finally, being interviewed by a staff panel.
Our Head Prefects lead a team of Deputy Head Prefects and Year Group Student Council Leaders who meet every half term.
Who are the current Student Leaders?
Our school community can easily recognise our Prefects who wear black blazers to make them stand out from everyone else. Students can find them at break, have a conversation about our school, give them their feedback and their ideas, and let their voices be heard!
Discover the faces and names of our student leaders for 2025-2026, and find out what our Head Prefects would like to bring to the era of belonging at The Bulwell Academy.
Prefect Names to be added here.
