When I first applied to the JLT, I was nervous. However, the encouragement from my friends and tutor gave me the confidence to take the leap, and I’m so glad they did. Being part of the JLT has given me the opportunity to voice my opinions and contribute to school events, such as Open Evenings and Celebration Evenings. When I first joined Ricards Lodge, I couldn’t have imagined how much this school would shape me. Now, as Assistant Head Girl, I’m proud to hold this role, and I’m excited to see what the future holds for the rest of my journey here.

In my role as Assistant Head Girl, my goal is to ensure that every student feels confident enough to step out of their comfort zone and try something new. By working closely with the SLT, I hope to make a positive impact on the school, just as the previous JLT members have inspired and supported me.

Ricards Lodge offers so many opportunities, from student leadership roles to sports clubs, extracurricular activities, and enrichment programs. These ensure that every student has the chance to get involved and no one is left out. This school is filled with dedicated and hard-working teachers who are always there to support students in achieving their goals.
