Welcome from Senior Students 25-26

Head Boy – Andrew N

My name is Andrew and I’m your Head Boy at CPS. My role is to work alongside the Head Girls and the prefect team to help ensure everything runs smoothly and to support both students and staff wherever possible. This year, I aim to help strengthen the sense of student voice across the school, ensuring that every student feels their opinions and concerns are heard. Through my role, I’m able to take the ideas and feedback of the student body to staff members and work towards meaningful solutions. As part of this, I’m excited to support the school’s new program, Advocate Up, which is designed to give students more opportunities to share their thoughts and make a positive impact on school life. I look forward to working with both staff and students to help make a difference and ensure everyone feels included and valued at Calthorpe Park! 

 

Head Girl – Betty K

I’m Betty and I’m one of your Head Girls. Along with Andrew and Charlotte, my role is to ensure events at Calthorpe run smoothly with the help of our superb Prefect Team. As well as organising events and guiding our Prefects, we aspire to create a welcoming and supportive school community. I strive to embody our PRIDE values and my main goal as Head Girl is to inspire the younger students at our school to put themselves forward, be aspiring learners and grow into the best version of themselves. As well as being Head Girl, I’m also a Mental Health Ambassador and I value the wellbeing of CPS students. I hope to be a friendly face that you feel you can approach, as I’m always here to provide support, answer questions and have a catch up with other students. I’m proud to have the opportunity to represent Calthorpe Park School and I look forward to working with and getting to know everyone here.  

 

Head Girl – Charlotte S

I am Charlotte, one of your head girls here at Calthorpe Park School. Alongside, Betty and Andrew, my role is to plan and run school events with the help from our amazing team of Prefects. I also have the pleasure of being able to represent our school and create a welcoming community for both current and prospective students. Additionally, as a team we have many ideas on how to improve aspects of school life, such as making Prefects more visible so every student has someone, they are comfortable with reaching out to, as well as many innovative ideas on how we can benefit our school community and improve engagement in whole school events. In this role and as a part of the Senior Student Leadership Team, I hope to create a lasting and positive impact on our school community, through running charity  

events, advocating for and supporting my fellow students and helping everyone to feel valued within the school community. This role means a lot to me as it has provided me with the opportunity to make the meaningful and lasting difference, I have always hoped to have the chance to do at Calthorpe Park School.

Heads of Sustainability (Isaac J & Emilia W)

As the appointed Heads of Sustainability on the Senior Student Leadership Team, we are deeply committed to leading CPS toward a more environmentally responsible future. Sustainability is embedded in the values of our school, and we aim to make it a consistent and powerful presence across all aspects of school life. 

Our focus is on reducing waste, conserving energy, and encouraging eco-conscious choices among students and staff. We intend to build on the momentum of past successes—such as EcoWeek—by launching initiatives that engage the school community, promote positive change, and create habits that endure. 

We believe that true sustainability is not just about temporary actions, but about cultivating long-term awareness and responsibility. Whether through daily routines or wider campaigns, every step counts, and every student has a role to play. 

Guided by the school’s ethos of contributing meaningfully to the world we live in, we’re proud to lead these efforts and help CPS grow into a greener, more mindful learning environment—now and for the future.
