Student Leadership

At Coloma we strive to be a centre of excellence which inspires the next generation of female leaders to achieve through the love of God, inspirational experiences and our strong Catholic traditions. For us in the Sixth Form this is a lived vision and value. 

We recognise the potential in all of our students to make a positive contribution to the community. As such since 2022 we have been enhancing the offer and roles substantially. We maintain our proud traditions of a Sixth Form leadership team at the head and heart of the school. But, we have also been informed by student voices to ensure we best serve our communities from Year 7 upwards. This allows our students to become more involved across the school, improving the experience for the community as a whole. 

This audit details the range of our offer for all Sixth Form students and where students can step up to individual and team responsibilities during their time with us:
