Leadership

House Captains:  

House captains are children in year 6 who were elected by children and adults from their own house following speeches given to the whole school. As well as being the key representative and role model of their house, the children will serve a number of roles including providing tours of the school and ensuring all children across the school feel involved in house events.  They will each organise a house day which aims to raise money for their chosen charities.

Drake - Casper and Molly - chosen charity - Drake Sailing (where they have raised £262.42)

Head Boys and Girls:

This year, 14 of our children have earned the title of Head Boy or Head Girl.  This role gives children responsibilities to act as an ambassador for the school and make a difference across the school.  This year, children have spoken at the Remembrance and Christmas services at St. Peters Church and visited Shekinah Mission that provides opportunities for people in & recovering from homelessness, drug and alcohol issues, offending behaviours or mental ill health.

School leaders:

We believe that nurturing children’s sense of responsibility and willingness to lead and serve others is a key element of preparing children to become productive and considerate citizens in the wider world. In Years 5 and 6, we encourage children to widen their responsibilities across the school and take on leadership roles to assist in the smooth running of the school. Our school leaders assist our foundation children at lunchtime through our buddy system to act as role models for those children who have just entered the school.

Children write letters of application for school leader positions of responsibility that they feel passionate about and can have a positive influence within the school.
