Pupil Leadership

At our school, we believe in empowering our pupils to take on leadership roles and make a positive impact on our community. Our School Council gives children a voice to share ideas and represent their peers, helping to shape school life. The Eco Council works hard to promote sustainability and care for the environment, encouraging us all to be eco-friendly. Our Digital Warriors lead the way in promoting online safety and supporting the use of technology across the school. Additionally, the Mini-Vinnies embody our values of kindness and compassion, leading charitable initiatives to help those in need. Through these leadership groups, our pupils develop confidence, responsibility, and a strong sense of citizenship.

School Council

This year, the election of our Year 6 school councillors provided a valuable opportunity for pupils to develop their public speaking, leadership, and democratic participation skills. Each candidate prepared and delivered a presentation to the whole school, confidently sharing their individual policies and ideas about how they would represent their peers and improve school life.

Following the presentations, the entire school community took part in the voting process. The school bungalow was transformed into a ballot station, ensuring an authentic experience for all pupils. Every child in the school visited the ballot station to cast their vote in private, mirroring a real democratic election.

Throughout the day, Year 6 pupils took on key roles in managing the ballot station. They worked responsibly and with great maturity to ensure the process was organised, fair, and inclusive. Their commitment to upholding the integrity of the election was evident in the way they supported younger pupils and maintained confidentiality.

Once the voting closed, all ballot papers were securely transferred to the Senior Leadership Team. Due to the number of votes cast, counting took place carefully and was verified twice to ensure accuracy.

Finally, the successful candidates were congratulated and welcomed into their new roles, while all participating candidates were commended for their effort, enthusiasm, and courage in taking part. The process not only elected our new school councillors but also provided an excellent real-world learning experience in democracy, fairness, and citizenship.
