STUDENT Leaders at the University of Chester Academy Northwich welcomed guest speakers from Barclays to the annual Student Leadership Conference 2018.
The school welcomed speakers including Rob Hawthorn, managing director of Client Services and senior project managers Sarah Morgan and Tracy Berry-Potts.
The conference aimed to inspire, motivate and empower young student leaders to lead and develop aspects of school life including teaching and learning, pupil voice and creativity.
The conference featured student leaders from local primary schools, UCAN and professionals leading within large companies.
The event was organised by Year 11 student leaders, Dylan Orton, deputy head boy, and Oriana Brown, deputy head girl.
Staff and pupils from Witton Church Walk Primary School, Victoria Road Community Primary School and Rudheath Primary Academy attended the conference.
Ana Roslan, vice-principal at UCAN said: “It’s been fabulous to watch Dylan and Oriana change an idea at lunch to a full-blown conference, and it was a brilliant day for all involved.”
Twelve exhibition stalls were set up for students to showcase themselves as young leaders and speak about the work they have been doing to lead change.
