Earlscliffe is delighted to introduce the Student Leadership Team for the 2026/27 academic year. Each year, these roles represent one of the most meaningful opportunities available to our students, a chance to give back to the community, champion the student voice, and leave a lasting mark on life at Earlscliffe.
This year’s team has been selected following an impressive hustings process, and we are excited to announce the following appointments:
- Head Boy – Gal
- Head Girl – Ilinca
- Head of Service – Anuli
- Student Media & Communications Ambassador – Nehir
Head Boy – Gal
Gal stood out as a candidate with a clear and heartfelt vision for what leadership should look like. He ran for Head Boy with a desire to represent the Earlscliffe community in a positive and meaningful way, and to create an environment where every student feels included, respected, and heard.
“I believe a good leader should not only guide others, but also listen to them, encourage them, and bring people together,” Gal explained. “I believe I can be someone students can approach and rely on, while also proudly representing Earlscliffe both inside and outside the school community.”
Head Girl – Ilinca
Ilinca brings passion, empathy, and a strong sense of purpose to the role of Head Girl. She is committed to promoting both academic success and student wellbeing, and to ensuring that every member of the Earlscliffe community feels valued and supported.
“I aim to support students in reaching their full potential while ensuring everyone feels valued, heard, and included,” said Ilinca. “I hope to be a positive role model, encouraging a strong work ethic alongside a healthy balance, and to represent the student voice with confidence and empathy.”
Head of Service – Anuli
Anuli steps into the role of Head of Service with a clear ambition to strengthen the culture of service and community engagement at Earlscliffe. Her plans include creating more student-led volunteering opportunities and strengthening partnerships with local organisations and charities.
“I believe this position is an opportunity not only to lead, but to create meaningful initiatives that encourage students to actively engage in supporting both the school and the wider community,” Anuli said. “I would aim to introduce initiatives that make service more engaging, accessible, and impactful for all students.”
Student Media & Communications Ambassador – Nehir
This year welcomes an exciting new addition to the Student Leadership Team: Student Media & Communications Ambassador.
Nehir, a former Media Prefect and Wellbeing Champion with a passion for media and video production, is perfectly placed to bring this role to life. She plans to support the school’s marketing and communications, promote events, and ensure every student feels included and represented.
“I wanted to help represent the students and make the school community more welcoming, supportive and active,” said Nehir. “I hope to bring a friendly, creative and responsible attitude to the position.”
We extend our warmest congratulations to Gal, Ilinca, Anuli and Nehir, and look forward to working closely with the new team and seeing Earlscliffe continue to thrive under their leadership.
