Pupil Leadership

Whole School Leadership

Pupil Leadership is a big part of school life and we have a thorough selection and recruitment process at the beginning of the academic year, teaching democracy, a British Value. Every child in school has a part to play to ensure that our school day runs efficiently. Leadership roles are found in the classroom through everyday routines supported by the class teacher.

Proud Pupils can apply for a variety of roles through school including:

  • Head pupils
  • Worship Leaders
  • School Council
  • Play Leaders and Well-Being Leaders

School Council

What does the school council do at our school?

We meet every few weeks as a group with Miss Morgan (Assistant Head) to discuss current school issues.

What are the responsibilities of the school council?

  • We represent our class and give all pupils a voice.
  • We help with the interview process when appointing Head Pupils at our school.
  • We help with the interview process when appointing new staff for our school.
  • We hold circle times in our own classes to raise and discuss issues.
  • We help with evidence trails that other adults around school may be doing.
  • We gather ideas from our class and complete surveys when needed.
  • We feedback to our classes after every meeting to inform them of what was discussed and how their opinions were shared with other members of the School Council.

Worship Leaders

Our Worship Leaders are valued members of our school leadership team.

They not only assist in daily preparations for Collective Worship but also plan, prepare and lead whole school collective worship independently.

Throughout the school year they will be focusing on our school values and exploring what these mean to us and how we live these out through our Christian vision.

You can learn more on the Worship Leaders page.

Play Leaders

Each year our KS2 pupils are trained to become Playground Leaders. They receive training to lead younger pupils in structured, fun games at lunchtime. Their leadership roles in school have a huge impact with better behaviour at lunchtimes because pupils are actively engaged in activities.

The Playground Leaders are taught life skills such as communication, fair play and organising groups/teams which go a long way in raising their confidence and self esteem.
