Pupil Leadership

Empowering our Children

We wholeheartedly believe in creating a pupil leadership culture where children take on key leadership roles and get their voice heard. We want our children to be actively involved in school improvement and to breathe life, relevance, purpose and meaning in all that happens at our school.

We strive for as many opportunities for children to become confident and articulate leaders who can share their views to any audience and apply their leadership skills to real life situations within our community and beyond.

The aim of the various pupil leadership roles is to enable children to take on leadership responsibilities within the school, ensuring their voices and opinions are heard and acted upon. We actively encourage children to challenge, discuss and debate issues which are important to them.

We believe that by giving ownership of the school to our children it creates a better school and builds leaders of the future.

This belief builds on our School and Christian aims:

- To provide a secure, happy and stimulating environment
- To develop and nurture children to grow into confident individual learners
- To encourage high levels of personal and academic achievement
- To promote a sense of spirituality and community within a Christian ethos
