We are delighted to introduce this year’s Senior Council for 2026-27, a dedicated team of Sixth Form students who play a vital role in shaping school life at Windermere School.

The Senior Council ensures the smooth running of the school by representing the student body, acting as role models, and upholding the values and ethos of Windermere School. Each member is responsible for advocating for different year groups, providing a voice for their peers, and fostering a positive and inclusive school environment.

The students work closely with the Head, Deputy Head, Heads of Sections, Head of Boarding and Head of Round Square, discussing key issues and opportunities for growth.

The Senior Council’s voices and ideas drive positive change, ensuring that pupil perspectives are heard and valued. We are incredibly proud of this year’s team and look forward to the impact they will make!

    Abby

  Hello! I’m Abby, and I’m really pleased to be serving as Head Student for 2026–27, as well as a Middle School representative alongside Isaac. I joined Windermere in Year 8 and have been a full-time boarder ever since, so the school has been a constant and important part of my life for a number of years now. I’m currently studying the IB Diploma Programme, where I especially enjoy Economics and History and they’ve played a big part in shaping my ambition to study Politics and Economics at university. Outside the classroom, I’ve always been drawn to creative and collaborative activities. I enjoy painting and other artistic pursuits, and I’ve loved being involved in performing arts at school, whether that’s coaching during Performing Arts Week or taking part in productions. Experiences like these have been some of the most rewarding parts of my time here. I think Windemere is at its best when students are given opportunities to come together through house events, competitions, or shared activities that go beyond academics. As Head Student, I’d like to build on that, making sure these opportunities are valued and continue to grow and develop.

Ola

 Hi, my name is Ola and I am a Lower School Representative. As a scholarship recipient of the British Alumni Society programme, I study at Windermere School. I value diversity and bringing an international perspective to our community. I’m a member of the Young Democrats and have taken part in programmes like the American Leadership Academy and Dream Placement, which developed my leadership and communication skills. Music has always been a huge part of who I am—the hours spent at the piano and preparing for competitions and performances have shaped my discipline, perseverance, confidence, and character. In my free time, I’m passionate about sports, especially swimming and skiing. I’m also involved in charity work as an ambassador for an international initiative supporting children in the Ivory Coast. I want to strengthen the global character of Windermere School by encouraging collaboration between students from different countries, promoting intercultural understanding, and helping create an environment where everyone feels heard and included, while representing the school’s values on the Senior Council.

Isaac

 Hi, I’m Isaac and I am the Deputy Head Student for 2026-27. I am a Middle School representative along with Abby Kime and we look forward to   working with the middle school council during our term. I study Biology, Maths and Geography at higher level and Chemistry, Physics and English at standard level and am aiming to study renewable or coastal engineering at university. Since joining Windermere in Year 7, I have been involved in so many of the fantastic opportunities on offer, such as sailing at National Championships and Speech and Drama exams. I want to promote involvement and accessibility of a wide range of clubs and extracurricular activities for all members of the school community as I feel it has helped me thrive and embody what Windermere is about. As part of this, I would like to encourage communication between students, councils and staff to ensure that every pupil’s voice is heard. I look forward to representing the school and am always available to listen to any ideas.

Max

Hi, I’m Max, and I am one of the Lower School Representatives for the 2026–2027 Senior Council. I joined Windermere School in Year 12 and have really enjoyed becoming part of the school.
I am passionate about sport, particularly as a competitive swimmer, and I want to encourage greater participation across the school. I believe sport is a great way to build confidence, and bring people together . As well as this, I aim to increase school spirit and help bring the school closer together through events and activities, including organising fundraisers for both the school and charitable causes. Through these, I hope to create an even stronger sense of community across the school.
