Excitement rocked Tytherington School on 24th November as students once again took over their teachers’ and other staff roles for Takeover Day. Nearly 100 students were chosen to take over staff roles to give them leadership experience and to give them a sense of what it takes to run a school. Several staff were taken over for the day, including the Headteacher. Many of the roles students took on included opportunities to develop leadership skills such as public speaking, time management and collaboration. Students from all over the school took part in various roles including Maths teacher, Receptionist, Deputy Headteacher and teaching assistant roles.
Francesca Curtis (Year 9), Zaigham Aizad (Year 9) and Luca Albright (Year 8) took over the Headteacher for the day. Luca said: “I now appreciate what goes on behind the scenes to enable a school to run.”
Headteacher, Manny Botwe, said: “We really believe in giving young people the opportunity to take on real leadership experiences. We are very fortunate to work at a school where so many staff and students engage with the day. Well done to all who took part.”
