Head Pupil

My name is Katherine Chase and I am Head Pupil at Ousedale Sixth Form. I am currently studying Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Economics. I hope to study Economics and Management at university.

As Head Student, I support all aspects of the Leadership Team to help bring their ideas to life and create a memorable experience for students studying at Sixth Form. I aim to be a friendly face and a resource that all Sixth Form students can be confident speaking to. Most importantly, I hope to encourage everyone to grasp all the opportunities available to them and make the most of their Sixth Form experience!

Pupil Deputy Head

My name is Ire Adebiyi, as one of Deputy Head Students, I am committed to serving as a positive role model and voice for my peers. I went to The Webber Independent School for secondary school, I chose to come to Ousedale because of the ideology and values that were showcased at the Sixth Form open evening, as well as the tightknit community that there is here.  My aim is to foster a supportive, inclusive environment where every student feels empowered to achieve their potential. I will work closely with the rest pf the leadership team to promote student well-being, enhance communication, and drive decision-making that strengthen our school community. My goal after this is to attend the University of Leicester to study Economics. 

My A-Level subjects are: Business, Economics and Physical Education.

Teaching and Learning Leader

My name is Aidan, and I am Deputy Head Pupil. My focus is to ensure student voices are heard, and that each member of the Sixth Form Leadership works to their strengths.

I am studying English Literature, History and Music, with an aspiration to study Law at Cambridge University. I enjoy essay-based subjects, hence my first two choices, and drew my third choice from my dedication to and enjoyment of school musical groups and musical productions. 

I also represent Ousedale on the Milton Keynes Youth Council, leading an Action Group based on Youth Crime, and I ensure that Ousedale is a part of its city-wide initiatives. 

I am thrilled to lead such an enthusiastic team this year, and I am sure positive action will come from our cooperation and teamwork.

Societies Leader

Hi, my name is Ashley Ekwensi, and I am the Head of Student Societies at Ousedale School. I am currently studying Business, Geography, Sociology and EPQ and have great aspirations to pursue a career in Business and Law. I created this role due to noticing the lack of support for students that were looking to study non-STEM subjects in Further Education. There were limited extra-curricular opportunities for students to be supported in the decision of their subject and career choices. These opportunities would allow them to gain in-depth knowledge and experience in their selected field and allow them to stand out more in their personal statements.  

Through this role, I am taking up the task of creating and managing these career-based Student Societies to create this opportunity to enhance the knowledge of careers beyond the classroom and generating experiences that will make them stand out in their future applications and build character and knowledge on potential career paths.  

This is a role that has never been done before so I aspire to leave a legacy where students can join their relevant student societies for many years to come and gain advanced support and ensure future success in reaching their aspiring careers. 

Teaching and Learning Leader

My name is Rebecca Seaton, and I am a teaching and learning leader. I currently study English language, psychology, and business. I have been part of the student leadership team throughout my time here at Ousedale, and I have taken delight in contributing my ideas. I look forward to helping the students reach their full educational potential by ensuring that we prioritise creating an environment, where they can learn effectively. I will be attending student panels to share the feedback that I receive.

I look forward to being a part of the leadership team again this year. I hope I will be able to contribute and make this year a success. 

Teaching and Learning Leader

My name is Kyle Labrador and I'm a Teaching and Learning Leader. I currently study Maths, Biology, and Chemistry with the goal of pursuing a career in STEM, something which I’m passionate about and strongly believe should and will further improve in the distant future.

With this role, I aim to instil confidence and a positive outlook in students' approach to learning, as well as address issues of concern regarding their studies. Being a part of the previous student leadership team has encouraged me to take up this position and I am eager to bring my ideas to life.

Sport Leader

Hi, I'm Isabelle. I'm currently studying biology, psychology and PE. I hope to continue my education by studying Psychology and Mental Health at university.

Wellbeing Leader

My name is Paige Rowland, and I am fortunate enough to be a Wellbeing Leader for Ousedale Sixth Form. I currently study Biology, History and Psychology. I have a particular interest in Psychology, which I hope to pursue at university next year. My passion for psychology has given me a deep understanding of mental health and wellbeing and in my role. I hope to utilise this to improve support for all students and make pupils' lives a little bit better.  

Wellbeing Leader

Hello, my name is Ellie Ashpole, and I am studying Geography, Applied Science, and Business. I am part of a programme where I mentor secondary school students who seek guidance and want someone to talk to and relate to. I have also been fortunate enough to be part of a very talented group of students alongside this year's Wellbeing Leaders. Our aim is to promote wellbeing across the Sixth Form by running fun activities, creating educational form time activities, starting extra-curricular societies, and opening up opportunities for students to get involved in. I thoroughly enjoy studying at Ousedale Sixth Form, and I believe that improving wellbeing for the students here is crucial for finding a comfortable balance between learning and mental health. I hope that by the end of my time at Ousedale, everyone understands the importance of health and wellbeing and can take on board the messages the wellbeing team has shared in order to make Sixth Form an enjoyable place to learn and grow.

Diversity Leader

Hi, I’m Lauren Ashpole.  I’m one of the Sixth Form Diversity Leaders and I currently study Geography, Sociology and Computer Science.   After Ousedale, I’m hoping to go on to university to study Geography with International Relations.  I’m excited about being a member of the Sixth form student leadership team and helping out with events coming up this academic year. As a diversity leader I want to celebrate what makes each pupil distinct and unique in hopes of encouraging inclusivity and diversity throughout the whole school.  I hope that during this school year I help to make each pupil feel welcomed into the school community. 

Diversity Leader

My name is Karis and I am one of four Diversity Leaders here at Ousedale. My role is to help all the school pupils celebrate differences and create a community where students feel comfortable and confident being who they are. This includes embracing events such as Black History and Pride month and encouraging others to celebrate with their peers. I am currently studying A level Sociology, Politics and Business and would love to study politics when I go to University next year. I’m looking forward to my next chapter in life there!

Diversity Leader

Hello, I’m Shaun, and I am part of the Diversity Leadership team. The subjects I take are Computing, Mathematics and Physics. I decided to join the leadership team as I wanted to help others through their learning journeys and give advice to those that are struggling to keep up with Sixth Form life. I am planning to study Digital Media Design at university to get into a career in video game development. 

My hobbies include drawing and coding, which I believe are great ways to deal with any lesson or deadline related stress. Additionally, I would also recommend finishing all given tasks as soon as possible to avoid work piling up. 

 Feel free to come and speak to any member of the student panel if you have any opinions, you would like brought up to the rest of the student leadership team. We can normally be found in the study centre.

I am grateful that I am able to work alongside the wonderful Sixth Form Leadership Team to create a more enjoyable school atmosphere for all

Sustainability Leader

I would like to introduce myself as Anjani Morker and I am a Pupil Leader of Sustainability. I study Geography, English Literature, Economics. In our world, sustainability and the living environment is a key theme and of great interest, which is why I'm aspiring to pursue a career around Geography. Participation in the sustainability field over the last year has developed my team-building, communication, and leadership skills, which will be beneficial for the future. I aim to build on the environmentally-friendly qualities that our school already possesses and continue to make our school greener and eco-friendly.  

Sustainability Leader

Hi, my name is Nick! I'm studying Biology, Physics, and Economics, and I am a Sustainability Leader here at Ousedale School. I strongly believe in a sustainable future and I want to spread that belief, and foster those solutions to our world's most pressing ecological issues. This role to me, is a key stepping stone in my career and I hope to do a lot with this opportunity. I am confident that I can make positive changes to the school. I also believe it is important that I cooperate with the other leaders and the whole student body, so I'd love to hear anyone's ideas.

After A-Level I hope to study Sustainable Development with Business, as I am evidently passionate about the subject. I've always found a keen interest in the preservation of our ecosystems, and I believe it stems from an overall love and admiration for nature.

Digital Media Leader

Hello, I am Spencer, and I am the Digital Media Leader at Ousedale Sixth Form. I currently study Media, Finance and Sport and Physical Activity. In my leadership position, I am in charge of the Ousedale Podcast which is a platform that enables students to have a voice within the Sixth Form and be heard by others. Outside of school I enjoy playing Rugby for Olney RFC, as well as 6 A-Side Football in MK and producing music as a hobby. For university, I would like to play rugby, study Sport Science and in the future, I hope to pursue sport as a subject and train athletes in Rugby at elite levels. I hope to increase our school's participation in media and grow the podcast to have it taken over by even better people. 

SEND Leader

Hi, I’m Elsie, the SEND leader for Sixth Form. I currently study History, Politics and Sociology which I have really enjoyed. I'm planning to go to Northeastern University London to study Politics and Data Science to help in the cybersecurity field. I also hope to complete a 4th year abroad in America for my degree.

My aim is to ensure SEND students have access to the support and information needed to thrive and perform to the highest ability in their A-Level exams here at Ousedale. All students deserve to succeed at school with no boundaries, provided with easy to access resources to help them throughout year 12 and 13. I am here to support students with their transition through Sixth Form, provide information on where to find support and provide options post A-Levels with information on bursaries and finance support. I am looking forward to working alongside the SEND department to grow a comfortable and safe environment for SEND students. Through my leadership, I aspire to create a foundation that can hopefully be built upon in future.

Student Panel

My name is Will Cooksey. I am part of the student panel in the Sixth Form student leadership team and alongside my fellow students. I hope to improve the quality of life in the Sixth Form by assisting students to reach their fullest potential by understanding what they need and then utilising the rest of the leadership team to help and improve what we can for them. Our primary role is to engage with students to understand what they need. I am currently studying Politics, English Literature and Media Studies and am aspiring to study Philosophy & Politics at LSE.

Student Panel

My name is Callum Dilks and I am on the Student Panel. This means that I help to convey student needs to the rest of the Leadership Team in order to improve their quality of life whilst at school. I study Biology, Chemistry and Psychology and hope to study Medicinal Chemistry at university. I hope to bring about change that will positively impact the student body. 

Literacy Leader

My name is Chioma Obanye, and I am the Literacy Leader for Ousedale Sixth Form. My role is to encourage literacy and reading skills throughout the whole school. I aim to provide advice and insight to any students who are currently struggling or are considering studying English after secondary school. 

Currently, I am studying English Literature, History and Psychology. I have also completed an EPQ. These subjects have expanded my ability to think critically and my confidence. In the future, I plan on studying Law at University and eventually becoming a solicitor.  

I chose to apply for this position as I am interested in developing people’s literacy abilities and confidence in activities such as reading and writing. I look forward to celebrating Literature throughout the school

STEM Leader

Hello, I’m Elliott. I am one of the STEM Leaders at Ousedale Sixth Form. I am currently studying Biology, Chemistry, and Physics at A-level and completed my EPQ last year. I aspire to further my knowledge of biology by studying the subject at the University of Oxford. I want to use my position to help develop the science sector within the school for all students and to help fuel my peers' passion for their favourite elements of science. I am always happy to address any issues students might have with science and am eager to begin new extracurriculars in the department.

STEM Leader

Hi, I am Sophie Lasisi and I’m one of the STEM leaders. I study Maths, Biology and Chemistry as I aspire to study Medicine at university. My favourite part about Ousedale Sixth Form is being able to study challenging content alongside my friends, and as part of my role, I hope to inspire as many students as possible to pursue STEM careers. I want to offer as much advice about work experience, revision and balancing external activities as possible. I look forward to creating more enthusiasm towards a career in STEM!

STEM Leader - Animal Science

I am studying Maths, Chemistry, EPQ and Biology, and I am hoping to study Veterinary Medicine and Surgery. 

I wanted to create my own role based on animal sciences because throughout year 7 to year 12 I realised that STEM groups would often focus on medicine, and I found that my subject choice (veterinary medicine and surgery) was never mentioned. This sparked my interest to research other occupations in animal science. Evidently, I became very inspired to represent students who were following the same path as me and help spread my knowledge on the different options in animal science. My aim now as a leader is to help promote animal science, raise money for animal rescue charities and make all students feel like they have an enough support to enter the field. 

STEM Leader

Hello, my name is Aimee keeler, and I am a STEM leader. I was previously Science Leader during Year 12 which is a title I held proudly. My goal this year is to help year 12's through the process of ensuring they get the right extracurriculars such as work experience, volunteering, and wider reading, whilst also helping and trying to improve the experience of learning STEM simultaneously. I am currently studying Applied Science, English Language and Sociology, and hope to study Medicine in the future and pursue a career in healthcare. This year I am highly looking forward to helping the year 12's and younger school years to reach their full potential and encourage them to do so within STEM subjects. I am hoping to achieve a better understanding of STEM subjects throughout the Sixth Form community alongside the UCAS application process, competition within these fields and how to tackle them head on!
