Student Leadership Team

The 6th Form has a dynamic and focused Student Leadership Team.

Near the end of the academic Year, Year 12 students are invited to apply for student leadership roles comprised of two Head students, and a Deputy Head Student. Students fill out an application and then go through an intensive interview process for each of these roles.

Other leadership roles within the Sixth Form include peer mentoring of younger students, volunteer work within the Students for Learning Homework group, and the organisation and running of the Sixth Form Student Union and its affiliated events. Consequently, student leadership becomes an integral part of the Sixth Form experience and provides students with valuable skills for University / Apprenticeship applications and the world of work.

Sixth Form Handbook

Jayden Da Costa - Head Student

Hello everyone, my name is Jayden Da Costa, and I am proud to introduce myself as the Head Student of St Joseph’s College.

I am currently a Sixth Form student studying Maths, Economics and Business, and I am working towards achieving three A*s in my A-levels. It is a real privilege to take on this role; I am honoured to be the first student to take on the role of Head Student as a single leadership position at the College. I am committed to carrying out this responsibility to the highest standard possible by ensuring that the voices of both students and staff are listened to and represented.

During my time in this position, I hope to bring about as much positive change as I can by supporting new initiatives, helping to strengthen our school community, and contributing to events and opportunities that benefit all students. I truly believe St Joseph’s College is one big family, where we support one another and work together throughout our journey here.

I look forward to working with all of you and doing my absolute best to represent our school with pride.

Usman Ali - Deputy Head Student

Hi, my name is Usman Ali, and I am your Deputy Head Student. I am currently studying A-level Mathematics, Economics and Business.

I strive to represent the voices of, both, students and staff, ensuring that everyone feels heard, valued, and supported. I am committed not only to organising and hosting events that bring our community together, but also to foster the warm, inclusive environment that St Joseph’s College embodies.

I have a vision. A vision that: every student who walks through our doors feels a true sense of belonging - as though they are entering their home. Through meaningful initiatives and hosting events,

I will ensure that St Joseph’s College is not just a place of quality education, but a place where everyone feels comfortable, connected, and at home.
