Year 12 Bryanston pupil working with Children’s Commissioner for England as part of the new cohort of Youth Ambassadors

17 April 2026

Oscar D in A3 (Year 12) has been selected to join the new cohort of Youth Ambassadors to work with Dame Rachel de Souza, Children’s Commissioner for England.

The cohort comprises 17 children in total and we are delighted that Oscar has been chosen to join the cohort of Ambassadors and represent Bryanston.

Ambassadors are chosen for their personal experiences and for their passion to try to change issues that really affect children and young people.

In March, the new cohort of Youth Ambassadors met with the Children’s Commissioner, together for the first time, to share their ideas for making children’s lives better and how they plan to make a difference in Parliament and Government and across the country.

Dame de Souza commented: “Bringing children’s voices to the forefront is a central mission as Children’s Commissioner. I have loved watching how powerful and articulate my two previous groups of Ambassadors have been – and this year’s cohort will be no different. This upcoming year will be busy and exciting, and my Youth Ambassadors will work with me to push politicians to listen and act upon what children and young people have told me they need for a better life and better opportunities.”

Oscar will focus his efforts on championing fitness and exercise in young people and to help develop a more varied sports curriculum in schools as part of a healthy lifestyle.
