Head Team

Our Head Team for 2025/2026!

We are delighted to announce the Student Head Team for the 2025/26 Academic Year. The Team, comprising of 13 members, has been selected through a rigorous selection process involving a letter of application, presentation, and interview with Miss Blackhall and Miss Jackson. The Student Leadership Team will be making significant contributions to the running of the school and will be running various events and activities throughout the year as well as making due representation to the Senior Leadership Team on behalf of the Student Body.

We asked the team to introduce themselves and say what Hautlieu meant to them:

James Brewer

Head Boy

Why Hautlieu is important / special to me?

For me, Hautlieu is a place of not only great academic success, but also great personal growth. My journey from an awkward year 10 to Head boy wouldn’t have been possible without Hautlieu’s positive culture and the schools genuine care for each of its students. My main hope is that I can help today’s students feel the same way I do!

What am I bringing to the team

The role of Head Boy seems like the biggest responsibility of my life so far, and I want to honour that by bringing a sense of approachability to the head team, and also to use my own skills and experience of Hautlieu to the benefit of our school’s positive culture and our academic successes.
