Student Leaders
Student leaders in primary school play a vital role in shaping a positive and inclusive school environment. Our pupils are allocated a number of different roles and responsibilities at the start of the academic year, including dining room helpers, reading buddies, computer monitors, corridor and cloakroom monitors, playground leaders and we even have referees for football! These children are excellent role models for their peers and demonstrate positive behaviour, responsibility and respect.
Their roles and responsibilities include:
- Helping to organise and lead activities and events, which helps to encourage a sense of belonging among children.
- Encouraging participation, particularly during playtimes and lunchtimes, by leading games and activities and by motivating others to get involved; helping to build confidence and teamwork skills.
- They act as a communication bridge between pupils and teachers and can voice concerns, suggest improvements and ensure that everyone feels heard.
- Developing valuable life-skills such as leadership, communication skills, problem-solving, time management and empathy. These skills not only support them during their time in education but are fundamental as they journey through life in to the world of work and beyond.
- They help to reinforce our school rules and values and model these to others.
