Pupils as Leaders
Year Six Roles and Responsibilities
HEADS OF SCHOOL
Our Heads of School support Mrs Turnbull around the school; have conducted surveys, greet visitors are role models for the younger pupils.
“I really enjoyed showing (prospective) parents around the school."
HEADS OF HOUSE
Our Heads of House help out in House Worship. They take responsibility for helping our EYFS and KS 1 pupils to move around the school safely and confidently; they act as leaders in the carpet discussions, and lead the end of House Worship prayers.
In addition, a small group of Year 5 & 6 children met with Rupert (our diocese advisor) to workshop ways to lead Collective Worships, to further enhance the opportunities for children as leaders.
MERIT MONITORS
Children are individually awarded merits for many reasons e.g. lovely manners, effort, super work, improvement etc
Each week our Merit Monitors collect and collate these merits and keep a running total of how many each House has been awarded. They ‘feed’ the visual tally and announce the winners of the termly treat!
SPORTS CAPTAINS
The Sports Captains support the smooth running of house competitions each term. They also support lunchtime clubs,(in the summer term) and help to organise and run our annual sports days.
LIBRARIANS
This team does a brilliant job of keeping our well used library organised. As well as placing returned books in their correct position, the librarians also give reviews and recommendations. They run a story time club for our youngest children in the summer term too.
PEER MENTORS
Our Peer Mentors are invaluable. These children have been chosen to be role models, friends and supporters to our younger children. Via a rota, pairs of mentors support the lunchtime staff on the EYFS/KS1 yard. The peer mentors help to initiate and supervise games, talk to the children and listen to any concerns, and look out for any children who may need a little support in joining in games. The younger children love having their older buddies visiting them each day and the bonds that are made travel through school with the children, helping to ease the transition to the KS2 yard.
READING AMBASSADORS
Our Reading Ambassadors share a love of reading and help to promote this across our school. They have planned and led collective worships and enjoyed sharing stories with different classes.
DIGITAL LEADERS
Playing an important part in getting our online safety messages heard and keeping our hardware in good shape, our Digital Leaders help to monitor and maintain the computing equipment in school, help support children's learning and lead assemblies on online safety too.
School Council
Each year, two students from each class are elected by their peers to represent their class, to help improve the school and to promote participation in a range of school, community and national events. We actively engage pupils as participants in their education and in making a positive contribution. Our school council is for everybody and we aim to develop and promote pupil voice and service to others. Our Year 6 Pupils are School Council Leaders.
