The Junior Leadership Team (JLT) serves as a platform for students to express and exchange their viewpoints on crucial aspects of school life.
It empowers students to contribute actively and develop leadership skills essential for life beyond the classroom. Through the JLT, students engage in discussions, enhancing communication and critical thinking.
They assume leadership roles, becoming role models for others, fostering responsibility and resilience. The JLT also demonstrates British values by promoting values such as tolerance and democracy.
The JLT plays a key part in developing the HA character, building active citizens who contribute positively to the Hammersmith Academy school community and beyond.
