There was a real buzz around Tytherington School on Monday 26th June as students once again took over their teachers and other staff roles for the school’s annual Takeover Day. Over 100 students took part in the event and “took over” staff roles to give them leadership experience and a sense of what it takes to run a school. Several staff were taken over for the day, including the Headteacher.
Students had the opportunity to develop a range of leadership skills including public speaking, time management and collaboration.
Macey Fawbeth (Year 7), Daniel Gutschow (Year 7) and Jasper Ronan (Year 8) took over the role of the Headteacher.
Macey commented that the experience had “been really enjoyable and gave me a real sense of what happens behind the scenes in a school.”
Headteacher, Mr Botwe, said: “This is one of my favourite days of the year. We really believe in giving young people the opportunity to take on real leadership experiences. We are very lucky to work at a school where so many staff and students engage with the day.”
