Our new RISE Ambassadors: Giving students a real voice in school

Our Head Girl, Lila, has officially launched an exciting new opportunity for young people at Co-op Academy Strinesdale: the RISE Ambassador programme.
The programme is a key part of our student leadership and personal development within school, giving students a real voice to represent their peers and make a positive difference at Co-op Academy Strinesdale.
As RISE Ambassadors, students will take an active role in shaping school activities, leading community events, and helping to make our academy an even better place to learn. Beyond speaking up for their classmates, ambassadors will develop vital lifelong skills, including teamwork, public speaking, organisation, and decision-making.
To support their growth, our ambassadors will complete a special leadership course in partnership with Oldham Council, working towards a recognised AQA certificate.
We are incredibly proud to see our students step forward, build their confidence, and act as positive role models for the entire community.
