Ellie

Deputy Head Girl

Having been at Loughborough Amherst School since Year 7, I can confidently say the School has shaped me and I wouldn’t be the person I am today without it. I will never forget that uneasy feeling on my first day, feeling shy, nervous and out of place, however now six years later I have never felt like I have belonged somewhere more. This School has given me the confidence to put myself out there and really take advantage of the opportunities offered to me, such as visiting other countries to further my understanding of the languages, joining the CCF and being a Quarter Guard, running the Netball team as Captain and performing in dance shows and productions within Amherst and across the Foundation.
From lower down in the School I always looked up to the Sixth Form and the presence they had within the School community. Going into this academic year I am looking forward to having a key role in organising and fulfilling annual traditions as well as generating some new innovative ideas. The Prefect team this year hopes to create a new dynamic with even more involvement from lower down the School, one of our main focus points being a Student voice. This way we can listen to their ideas and discuss the best way to implement them.
