Year Head

Year Head

Year Heads fulfil a pivotal position in the management of the school. A Year Head is appointed for each year group with their role being primarily disciplinary in nature. Disciplinary issues concerning each student in a year group are reported to the year head who keeps a record of such reports. The year head after liaising with subject teachers and other staff may speak to the student concerned, issue extra written work, contact parents, place the student on report or in detention, and liaise with Deputy Principals, Principals and School Counsellors. They may also recommend either suspension or expulsion be applied to students who persistently disregard school rules or advice.
