Welcome to the<br />
Student Leadership<br />
The<br />
annual elections for the new Student Leadership quartet for <strong>2015</strong>-2016 were held during the latter<br />
part of the summer term <strong>2015</strong>. The candidates went through a number of stages in the election process<br />
which involved: writing a letter of application, presenting in assembly, supporting and presenting on year 7 Taster<br />
Day, creating a manifesto and being interviewed by a student panel. Congratulations to all those students who<br />
applied and to our elected team, and to Hanna Malik, Ashwin Thakur and Amit Asskoumi who also did really<br />
well, but just missed out.<br />

“I applied for the role of Head Girl because I’ve always been able to put my thoughts into<br />
words, but this application process was harder than usual as I was enthusiastic to write down<br />
everything I could possibly offer the role. I am currently studying A Level English literature,<br />
history and religious studies and I hope to one day be a lawyer. This application process has<br />
allowed me to practise writing for my UCAS personal statement. As a lawyer, you need to adopt<br />
the position of leader in a court of law to achieve justice. The role of Head Girl will allow me<br />
to lead a team to achieve the best possible outcomes for the school. I am extremely excited to<br />
embark on this eventful journey as your Head Girl. I will put everything into making myself a<br />
positive <strong>Cranford</strong> role model. Thank you”.<br />

“I applied for the position of Head Boy as I wanted to make a change that would last a lifetime.<br />
When the position of Head Boy was first advertised with specific traits and characteristics, I<br />
immediately felt that my personality and achievements met these requirements and with the<br />
encouragement of my peers, I proceeded with the application and much to my delight was<br />
successful. The application process stretched me because it was the first time I had ever been<br />
through such a rigorous process. However, much like with everything I do, I gave it my best<br />
effort. The first fence to jump was the letter of application. From this I learnt how to present my<br />
achievements. The next hurdle was creating a unique manifesto that would inspire and excite.<br />
Finally, the interview; this stretched me the most as it was a test of ability to vocalise my views<br />
and ideas as well as answering questions under pressure. I currently study A level psychology<br />
and sociology and BTec business. My career aspiration is to become an officer in the British<br />
Army. Being Head Boy requires leadership, communication, resilience and perseverance, and this position will help<br />
prepare me for my future career. That’s looking into the future. My priority, apart from getting exceptional grades, is<br />
to be a Head Boy that <strong>Cranford</strong> can be proud of”.<br />
Taylor Panesar (Head Boy)<br />
“I applied to become Deputy Head Girl as I would like to be part of any challenges and<br />
developments happening within our school. Applying for this post gave me experience of an<br />
interview which helped my confidence along with other skills. I believe the position of Deputy<br />
Head Girl will help me in the future because I know that it will make me stand out as a successful<br />
student amongst others and will make others aware of the responsibility I have in this role. This<br />
opportunity will help me to listen to students’ views and opinions and if there is anything I could<br />
do to help them I will ensure to do so ”.<br />
Maria Isaaq (Deputy Head Girl)<br />
“I am Adil Hassan, the Deputy Head Boy. I’ve been a student in the school for 6 years and when<br />
this opportunity arose I decided to aim for it. The application process stretched me but I discovered<br />
I am skilled in speaking in front of big crowds as well as handling bigger responsibilities. The<br />
role of Deputy Head Boy will allow me to increase my skills in being a leader and being able to<br />
make decisions within a team which links to my career aspiration of being an Investment Banker<br />
for which I am studying maths, physics, economics and geography. I am proud to be the Deputy<br />
Head Boy and I aim to help keep <strong>Cranford</strong> at the top”.<br />
Adil Hassan (Deputy Head Boy)
