At Park Academy West London, we recognise the potential in all of our students, and as future leaders, we offer a range of opportunities and roles for students to become involved in leading others, influencing practice and embedding change.
We have a variety of range of student leadership opportunities for students in all years and we encourage all of our students with the qualities and aspirations to make a difference to life at our school to take the opportunities presented to them.

Our student leadership structure is also the vehicle used for student voice. Students will complete regular feedback through surveys on a variety of topics. The feedback from students is taken into account when making decisions and actions arising are shared with students on a regular basis.
Our structure is as follows:
Student SLT |
Student Leadership Team |
Year Group Leadership Teams |
Students from all year groups also have the opportunity to apply for a role as a prefect and support the day to day running of the Academy, as well as helping at a range of events.
