Our school offer pupils the opportunity for the children to lead in a variety of different areas. Leadership roles instill confidence and allow pupils the opportunity to solve problems creatively, develop responsibility and learn to work collaboratively as part of a team.
Student Council
A school council is a formal group of pupils who acts as a representative of their classmates in discussing school issues with the headteacher and staff. It’s a brilliant way of representing and contributing to Pupil Voice in our school.
The pupils on our Student Council all applied for the position and have been elected to represent the views of all pupils and also to improve our school. They help us make decisions about how the school is run and take on projects that support the children’s learning and development.

Peer mentors provide advice and guidance whilst acting as a positive role model for younger people who require their support. It benefits the mentor as they develop skills in empathy and leadership whilst the pupil being mentored grows in confidence and develops their self-esteem.
