Cranford Review 2021

#
SIXTH FORM
Introducing
The Student Leadership Team 2021-2022
My role as Head Girl is to contribute to supporting the social, physical and mental health of Cranford students
while also making sure that they are achieving academically. My manifesto was to encourage students to work
with the local community in order to enable students to achieve a greater sense of community. I decided to
this by increasing the number of youth-led activities and clubs to help students gain transferable skills and
improve work ethic. My goal and ambition is to provide support and give every student an opportunity to leave
an everlasting legacy in Cranford and to inspire others to get involved with the local community.

During this academic year I didn’t really plan on applying and becoming Head Boy however it became clear
that not only would this benefit me, but I could help my peers and other students get the most out of their
time here at Cranford. The application made me super nervous, making me go outside of my comfort zone
doing things like videos and interviews; however, it built my foundation and boosted my confidence to where
I can be comfortable in those kinds of environments. During the school year in my role as Head Boy as well
as leader of the Environment Committee I have put together and helped plan a successful Summer Fair and
other projects, involving other younger years. Through all of this and with the help of the other members on
the student board, being Head Boy has been a big learning curve and has taught me things like leadership and
how to persist during tough times. My main aims are to make school a place where students enjoy succeeding
both academically and mentally no matter what. In the near future I also plan on making big events involving
all years and other fun surprises to come.
Mudathir Ahmed (Head Boy - Environment Committee)
The process of becoming Deputy Head Girl involved two main steps. These were the letter of application and
the interview process. During the interview process I was asked questions such as how I would represent the
student body or how I planned on leading a team of prefects. This was a lengthy process but I felt relieved and
proud when I was chosen to be Deputy Head Girl and the leader of the Wellbeing committee. The Wellbeing
committee believe that the wellbeing of each individual in the school is extremely important, especially after
the pandemic. We aspire to host workshops and intervention sessions next year to embed effective wellbeing
strategies into all year groups. One of our core aims for this year is to create a safe space for all students to
go to. This space would be surrounded by positivity and people to talk to. We aim for this to be completed in
the near future and have spent time carefully planning and finalising the details.
