Pupil Leadership

At Dashwood Banbury Academy, we believe that it is important for students to experience purposeful leadership opportunities to develop their deeper learning competencies. We aim to support our pupils to learn the art of building relationships within teams, define identities, and achieve tasks effectively by focusing on communication and interpersonal skills; collaboration; learning to learn and critical thinking; and complex problem solving. We hope to equip our pupils with skills to enable them to support their peers, mentor younger pupils and connect with the wider community such as local care homes and different religious communities.
