Hello to our High Tunstall Community. We are the elected Student Senior Leadership Team for the 2026-27 Academic Year. We are delighted to be working as the College Head Boy/Head Girl Team to advocate for the students, and to ensure they get the most out of their time here at High Tunstall.
Student Leaders
As a school we pride ourselves on adhering to a specific set of values, which are Ready, Respectful, and Safe. We are presented with plenty of opportunities through our facilities and we strive to keep those opportunities in an excellent condition for years to come. Ultimately, our focus is on the students, therefore we will work hard to remain a cohesive college, where all students are included and supported throughout all areas of college life. We aim to be an approachable team ready to help with any concerns or queries any students, staff or parents may have.

At High Tunstall, we believe that leadership is not about titles or status. It is about integrity, kindness, resilience, responsibility, and having the confidence to do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Our student leaders are role models who demonstrate our values every day through their actions, commitment, and respect for others. At High Tunstall, we are proud to be a welcoming, inclusive, and ambitious school where every young person is encouraged to achieve their very best. We believe that success is about far more than academic achievement alone. We strive to develop confident, respectful, resilient, and compassionate young people who are ready to embrace the opportunities and challenges of the future. Our dedicated staff work hard to ensure that every student feels safe, supported, and valued from the moment they join our school community. We have high expectations, but we also provide the care, encouragement, and guidance that enable every child to thrive, whatever their starting point. Starting secondary school is an exciting milestone, and we understand that it can also feel daunting for both students and their families. Our transition programme is designed to help every child settle quickly, build new friendships, and develop the confidence to enjoy all that High Tunstall has to offer.

Sport plays a vital role at High Tunstall College of Science, providing every student with the opportunity to develop confidence, teamwork and resilience. With outstanding facilities, including a full-sized 3G pitch, a swimming pool and excellent sports spaces, students can take part in a wide range of sporting activities throughout the year. Whether representing the school in competitive teams, trying a new sport or taking part in extracurricular activities, there are opportunities for everyone to get involved. Students can also compete in house sporting competitions, earning points for their house whilst building their skills, showing determination and celebrating success together. Sport at HTCS encourages everyone to challenge themselves, work together and take pride in being part of our school community.

Culture. It is unique to all of us. Over the years High Tunstall has offered me and all its students opportunities to express ourselves and see each other for who we really are. This is vital to build lasting bonds and friendships within our community, uniting us through a wish to learn more together, rather than being forced to fit a set mould. In turn, helping students study in a more engaging manner builds their problem solving as well as teamwork skills. Culture days also have a large impact on the college. From trying new foods to studying new religions, there is always something new to experience. Not only this but, we also have Time Travel Theatres which give students and teachers the incredible opportunity to understand more about each other’s histories through interactive presentation. Experiences are what enhance and enrich people’s lives, from small details to larger ones; it’s how we not just accept but welcome change into our present and future. Understanding is how conflicts end. This is why High Tunstall makes sure everyone is represented; this is what strengthens our community.

At High Tunstall College of Science, our core values of Ready, Respectful and Safe are at the heart of everything we do. These values create a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed. Being READY within HTCS means coming to school prepared to learn, take on challenges, and give our best effort every day. Being RESPECTFUL within HTCS means treating everyone with kindness, consideration, and fairness, while valuing the opinions and differences of others. Being SAFE within HTCS means creating an environment where everyone feels secure, supported, and able to learn with confidence. As Deputy Head Boy, I believe these values are more than just expectations, they reflect the character of our school community and encourage every student to contribute positively, support one another, and take pride in being part of High Tunstall College of Science.
