What student leadership opportunities are available at KNBS?
King Edward VI King’s Norton School for Boys students are given the opportunity to lead on many areas within our school community. By experiencing leading certain projects and working as part of specific teams, students will be well equipped to take on and flourish leadership roles once they leave. The creation of different leadership pathways also contributes to the successful school environment at King Edward VI King’s Norton School for Boys, as students can play a direct role in the decision making on issues around the school.
The King Edward VI King’s Norton School for Boys ‘STRIVE’ values of Self-discipline, Teamwork, Resilience, Initiative, Vision and Endeavour underpin all the efforts and projects undertaken by the different student leadership pathways throughout the year.
Students will often be asked to relate and reflect on these values throughout their tasks.
