Each year, we hold an exciting opportunity for two students to become a 'Head' student.

Through speeches and promotion, they showcase their strengths, commitment and vision for the future. Students place their nominations and when tallied, the two with the most votes become the head students for the year.

They make such a positive impact to the year with ideas, advice and changes for the future that it helps us to improve year-on-year, have a great relationship with our students and make them feel heard and valued. 

Here you can find a testimony from our current head students... Ollie Sargeant and Ollie Turner Curtis!

 

Ollie Sargeant - Head Boy 2024-2025 

I first came to KSA in year 7 and knew immediately that this was a school which I was proud to be a part of. One thing I noticed immediately was the friendliness of the staff and willingness to help to the best of their abilities. This ultimately led to me staying on after my GCSEs into the KSA Sixth Form.

For my A-levels, I take Computer Science, History, and Criminology. I have found that in year 12 all of my subject teachers have gone the extra mile to ensure that not just me, but my class as a whole, are able to achieve the best possible grades and work with them to achieve this. The community within this school is something which I am proud to be a part of.

Although my path after sixth form is still undecided, I feel that within the next year the sixth form team will be able to support me in finding a career in which I can feel comfortable and exceed far in.

As Head Boy, I want to build on the sense of community internally and externally. I want to make sure that KSA is not just another school in Kettering, but make it the best it can be.

Ollie Turner Curtis - Head Boy 2024-2025

My name is Ollie, and I'm studying History, Criminology and Psychology with the intention of joining the London Fire Brigade after sixth form. Despite how difficult A level can be,  KSA has an abundance of inspiring teachers who have been here to help every step of the way. 

I wish to join the public service as I want to pursue a career of helping people and building strong relationships with the community. Being in sixth form has allowed me to effectively pursue this career while staying on top of my studies, maintaining solid friendships and keeping a positive mental state. It's also given me the opportunity to develop the skills I will need for my future career, and allowed me to go out and access events related to it in and out of school. 

Overall, I'm happy to be studying here as it's helped me develop myself as a person, reach my academic goals and become a strong, confident individual. Knowing I have a large network of people who support and encourage me, means that no matter how difficult the situation may seem, I am able to go into it with confidence.
