Here at The Webber, leadership isn’t a privilege reserved for the few – it’s something every student grows into. Here, responsibility meets opportunity, and confidence blossoms into ambition.
At Webber, student voice isn’t just encouraged – it’s essential. From Student Council meetings to Head Student groups and form-time discussions, our young people are given a genuine platform to share their ideas and shape their school. Initiatives introduced by students are regularly adopted and turned into real change. “You said… We did” is more than a motto – it’s a lived reality. Our Senior School years give students the chance to lead in a meaningful way, such as our Year 11s taking on leadership roles that drive key initiatives – ranging from environmental projects and charity fundraising to school-wide campaigns. These experiences help students build organisation, resilience and interpersonal skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
Inspectors have praised Webber students for their enthusiasm, independence and excellent attitudes to learning. What sets Webber apart is how it builds belief in every individual. Through both academic and co-curricular opportunities, students learn to think critically, act confidently and lead with purpose. Whether it’s through debating competitions, Young Enterprise, the eco-committee, cultural weeks or international trips, our students are not just participants – they’re organisers, presenters and decision-makers. They’re learning the vital skills of collaboration, accountability and leadership in a real-world context.
Recent parent feedback highlights how valued and supported families feel within the Webber community. The overwhelming majority of parents agree their children are happy, confident learners thriving in a safe, ambitious environment. Many highlight the personal attention and encouragement their children receive, especially as they step into leadership roles during their senior years. For parents, it’s reassuring to know their child isn’t just preparing for exams – but for life beyond the school gates. Nationally, schools are recognising the importance of student leadership, but few embed it as fully and purposefully as Webber. Research shows that young people who take on leadership roles during their school years report higher confidence and better preparation for higher education and employment. At Webber, this leadership journey is carefully supported and seamlessly integrated into school life.
