Student House Leadership Roles.
Each of the 6 houses at Giles Academy have a Student House Leadership Team. Students have the opportunity to apply for these roles at the start of the academic year and are appointed after interviews have taken place with their Head of House. Students hold their posts for one academic year. The roles within the house system allow our students to develop teamwork and leadership roles, as well as being a valuable experience which can be listed on their CV’s.
