Being appointed as Deputy Head Boy is a position I look forward to fulfilling. Having studied at Cranford
Community College since year 7, I have appreciated the support from the school and would like to contribute
back, before completing my final year. I am also the chair of the Charities Committee and as a team our core
aims are to involve the school community in supporting smaller local charities and to raise money for mental
health charities. We are keen on bringing the school community together by delivering exciting opportunities
for the students. To conclude my Cranford journey as Deputy Head Boy is a privilege and I look forward to
the responsibilities that lie ahead.
Gurshaan Ghattoray (Deputy Head Boy - Charities Committee)
As the head of the Arts and Culture Committee, my main aim is to bring together the students from Cranford,
through creativity and diversity. I want to celebrate the arts at Cranford, as there are an amazing bunch of
talented individuals amongst the students. I would like to set up workshops helping student’s wellbeing
through art. I am currently planning on organising a cultural fashion show for next year to promote diversity
at Cranford, and help students enjoy, and appreciate the diversity at Cranford. Overall, this role is enhancing
my leadership, organisation, and team working skills, and helping me learn many new things.
Ruqaya Quereshi (Deputy Head Girl - Arts and Culture Committee)
As Deputy Head Boy my aims for this year are to create a platform for sixth formers to have their opinions voiced.
As Head of the Sports Committee my aims for this year are to increase female participation in sports and to
make sports and active lifestyle integral to the routines of all Cranford students. As a committee we assisted the
PE department with extra-curricular events running after school for KS3 and 4 and set up after school events
for sixth formers allowing them to relieve stress from the usual school day. After expressed interest we started
a girl’s only basketball club which runs on a Monday at break time which provides a safe space for female
participation in sports. Also this year we had great success with a Euro themed football event for sixth formers
and staff which raised money for the charity ‘Young Minds’. It has been a great experience thus far and with
the support from the rest of the leadership team it’s exciting to see what we can achieve in the upcoming terms.
Sean Udott (Deputy Head Boy – Sports Committee)
When I first stepped into my new role as a PSHCE ambassador at Cranford Community College, I knew
that it would be challenging and balancing my A levels with this may be difficult. However, my passion for
positive wellbeing amongst students eliminated any challenges that this role initially posed. My role as PSCHE
ambassador involves delivering educational assemblies to students regarding topics such as mental health,
wellbeing and student finance. Some of my core aims as PSHCE ambassador for the following academic year
include: raising awareness of social issues such as gender discrimination and introducing self-defence classes
for all students.
