Sixth Form Leadership Team

The leadership team are a group of students who represent the school and student community and are a key link between students and teachers. Along with their official roles, each student also undertakes an individual project to initiate positive change across the school and in the wider community. Students work towards improving mental health provision, diversity, promoting the Sixth Form, running social events, speaking at school events, mentoring across the school and creating supportive links between the school and local community.

Sixth Form Leadership Team 2024 – 2025

Anna Dunk – Community & Enrichment Lead

Hello, my name is Anna and I am currently studying Mathematics, Further Maths, Biology and Psychology. After my A-Levels, I am taking a gap year to row across the Atlantic Ocean, raising money for Teenage Cancer Trust and inspiring younger generations as I will be the youngest female to take on this challenge. Afterwards, I hope to go to University to study Mathematics. I am the Community and Enrichment lead and look forward to planning and organising fundraising events and enrichment opportunities for the school. 

Luca Winfield – Teaching & Learning Lead

I’m Luca Winfield and I study Mathematics, Further Maths, Chemistry, and Physics. I have been a student at Ormiston Rivers since year 7 and have loved every moment of it. I have found Rivers Sixth Form to be a challenging and supportive environment, with passionate and knowledgeable teachers. They offer a wide range of subjects to choose from and areas to explore outside of timetabled lessons. I decided to stay and study in Rivers Sixth Form because I couldn’t think of a better place to help me achieve my future goals of studying Economics and Finance at university.

Lily Stockwell – Events & Social Media Lead

I am currently studying in Rivers Sixth Form and have been with Ormiston for the whole duration of my education. I study Digital Media, Business Studies, Sociology and Extended Project. I chose these subjects as they link to my future career path. Since studying in Rivers Sixth Form I have been greatly supported by the Sixth Form team and they have encouraged me to excel in my interests and hobbies such as social media management and marketing. The Sixth Form offers a range of extra-curricular opportunities to help their students succeed outside of the classroom. I have been fully supported to fulfil my passion in gaining an apprenticeship in the Media Marketing industry, whilst having a consistent positive attitude to my education and future choices.

Grace Jardine – Equality & Diversity Lead

Hi, my name is Grace and I have been studying at Ormiston Rivers Academy since year 7.

In the Sixth Form Leadership Team, I am the Equality and Diversity lead and I am excited to work with Sixth Form and the lower years supporting with social and academic events, as well as promoting wider involvement within external opportunities.

Kieran Want – Environment & Study Area Lead

Hi, I’m Kieran and I currently study A level History, English Literature, Engineering and Extended Project. I’m hoping to go to university to complete a History degree, before attending the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst for Army Officer training. Through my role as Environment and Study Area Lead, I intend to help progress sustainability and awareness within Ormiston Rivers Academy as well as making positive changes within our Sixth Form. I’m most looking forward to this opportunity and I firmly believe that we as a team will deliver the best for our community.

The subjects I am currently studying are English Literature, Music Technology, Drama and Extended Project which all enable me to work towards my future goals. I am excited to take on this role and aim to help as many students as I can in a warm, friendly way, welcoming any new students into the school.
