"If you described the person I am today to the person I was before coming to LRGS I wouldn't have believed you.

Starting somewhere new always comes with the feeling of being unprepared and well out of your depth but you should never let those nerves prevent you from taking the next step. Coming to LRGS was a massive step out of my comfort zone which I hadn't fully accepted until I was there on the first day looking for someone I recognised. As time passed, I made friends and started joining the various clubs and societies the school has to offer: netball, law society, med soc, and many others.

I shortly came to realise that LRGS is truly a welcoming environment which prioritises its students' well-being greatly. I had support available in only an email away and many friendly faces I knew I could turn to. As I began building my confidence, I was introduced to the leadership roles - something old me would have never even considered. Taking my own advice, I surprised myself by applying and even more when I got it.

As Student Voice, it’s my responsibility to represent the voice of each individual and make an effort to listen and act upon the issues raised to me by the student body. Giving back to the school in this way has been incredibly fulfilling especially when the school has done so much for me. It’s my aim to continue on the work from the previous head of school team by ensuring everyone always feels as heard and supported as I did."

"I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to give back to the school that has given me so much in such a short space of time. Despite only joining in September, LRGS's welcoming atmosphere has made me feel like a member of the school from the very start. I feel that LRGS has helped me to improve massively academically, and I feel my confidence has improved greatly after getting involved in everything LRGS has to offer. I quickly settled in, and the range of opportunities that LRGS offers only made that easier. From History Society to rugby, debating to engineering society, there is something for everyone at LRGS. I hope that as part of the new senior prefect team I can only help to improve this.I want to ensure that LRGS remains inclusive to all pupils, and hope to maintain and improve the compassionate, caring and welcoming nature of the school. As Deputy Head of Operations, I will endeavour to ensure the smooth day to day running of the grab and go and the dining hall, as well as raise any health and safety concerns with staff to ensure that the school remains safe and to make sure that the school continues to provide a welcoming and happy atmosphere for all students. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity, and I am really looking forward to working with Tom, Imogen, James and Rory, and I hope that we can only improve on the brilliant work done by previous head of school Ishmael and his team."

"Since joining LRGS in September, I have felt truly welcomed and at home in the Sixth Form. I’m incredibly proud to have been given this opportunity, and I hope to give back by helping other students have as positive an experience as I’ve had.

While LRGS is rightly known for its high academic standards, I believe it’s equally important to uphold strong values of welfare and wellbeing. I want to help ensure that LRGS continues to be an inclusive, supportive, and safe environment—where every pupil feels able to learn, grow, and work together with others in a spirit of cooperation and respect.

One of the things that makes LRGS so special is the wide range of extracurricular opportunities on offer. Whether it’s sport, trips, or clubs, these activities allow students to explore new interests, develop valuable skills, and build lasting friendships. Getting involved is a brilliant way to boost confidence, relieve stress, and make the most of your time at school. I encourage all students to embrace these opportunities—not just to enhance their school experience, but also to support their wellbeing and personal development.

In my short time here, I’ve already had the chance to represent the school in netball, rugby, and rounders, as well as go on the ski trip to Austria—an unforgettable experience. These activities have not only been incredibly fun but have also helped me feel more connected to the school community. I truly believe that LRGS has a club, society, or sport for everyone. And if not—there’s always the opportunity to start something new and make it your own. That’s what I love most about LRGS: the possibilities are endless.

Alongside these fantastic opportunities, the Sixth Form Welfare Team plays an important role in supporting younger students with any worries, questions, or problems they may have. My main goal this year is to help foster a culture of kindness, communication, and mutual support across the school. School is so much more enjoyable when we look out for one another—and that’s exactly the kind of environment I want to help create".

"It is such a privilege to serve LRGS as a senior prefect and being able to contribute to the school experience of younger pupils.  My six years here have truly prepared me for the professional world and instilled into me the intrinsic values that LRGS students thrive on. I endeavour to encourage students to join LRGS’S wide range and unique selection of clubs and societies that will allow pupils to enjoy their school experience. For me, I have been a part of the LRGS choir, this has moulded my memories of the school and those who I surround myself with.  LRGS is academically rigorous, however the pressure exerted on pupils is done in such a way that boosts self-esteem which for me has ultimately shaped my work ethic.  

As the Head of Events and Charities I am very excited to continue our long-established tradition of charity fundraising. Most importantly, my goal is to highlight the values and skills that you will gain from our charity push, and the opportunity of having an experience of charities creates a personal motivation. It is important to not only focus on how much you raise, but rather how you can transfer the service and capability you have acquired during the process which you can then apply to your professional career and academic success.

Our school aims to lead and serve the community, inspiring our motto ‘Praesis ut Prosis’ that should influence every student decision. This transfers over to my responsibility of organising and delegating whole school events, and it is important to me that pupils have as much input on their school experience as possible, so come to me with any ideas that you may have. Our wide range of cultural, dramatic and sporting events throughout the year are there to ensure each pupil is represented. Tradition is deeply rooted in LRGS, and throughout a student’s time here they add their own branch which engraves them into the Lancastrian lineage.

We encourage pupils to see us as a bridge between the faculty and the student body and use us to shape your experience. I look forward to welcoming everyone to LRGS this year".
