I have enjoyed my time here so far and think I will be good at this role because I am keen to improve the Academy and help students throughout the school. I hope I will be a good person for the rest of the Academy to look up to."

"Hi, I'm Bradley Thomas, I'm the House Captain of Frome, I'm currently in Year 12 and have been at Merchants' Academy since 2008. I thoroughly enjoy sports and all sciences, and I ran for House Captain because I feel I will make a good contribution to the Academy, as I wish to be a good role model for the younger students and give them the voice which they deserve."
Head of Temple House: Shelby Slocombe
"Hi, my name's Shelby and I'm Head of House for Temple. I am glad that I was voted in, because I want to give the other students a voice so they can make the changes they want to see happen. Students can come to me at any dinner or break times if they want to tell me their thoughts, or they can talk to their tutors, who I will be catching up with too."
