Our Worship Wardens are elected to support the planning and leading of Collective Worship. Throughout the year, they are taught more about God and Jesus and the meaning of our Christian Vision. Our Worship Wardens help to share our values across the school, they meet weekly to develop their knowledge and they take ownership of the Prayer Station that all pupils can access. 

House Captains are elected at the beginning of each academic year.  Our Year 6 pupils are invited to write a letter of application as to why they should be the new House Captain for their house.  Staff review the letters and make a decision based on the application.

House captains are important role models for the children in their house. They collect house points from classes and participate in celebration assemblies, but also take on additional responsibilities as they arise throughout the year, such as taking the lead in charity events and fundraising. 

Games Captains are also elected at the beginning of each academic year.  Our Year 6 pupils are invited to write a letter of application as to why they should be the new Games Captain for their house.  Staff review the letters and make a decision based on the application.  

Games captains work alongside our PE lead, Mrs Wood, and plan additional sporting activities for all year groups to participate in at lunchtimes. They also act as sporting role models for inter-house competitions and take a leading role on Sports Day to inspire and motivate their houses in a series of challenging sporting events. 

Children in Key Stage 2 are invited to be Sports Leaders. Teachers choose one child from each house in their class to be a Sports Leader for that year. Sports Leaders are responsible for leading activities at break and lunchtime with younger members of the school community. Not only do they help to keep the children active, they build relationships and positive attitudes to sport.

We run a peer mediation programme at lunchtime to help resolve any conflicts between pupils.  When children are in Year 6, they have the opportunity to apply for the role. All peer mediators receive training from Mrs Forward, our SENCo, in order to provide the pupils with the understanding and skills needed.

Pupils speak very positively of our Peer Mediators who are helpful in resolving conflicts and advising on social situations. 

At the start of each academic year, children in years 1–6 have the opportunity to apply to be on our School Council. Children are asked to write a manifesto, explaining why they think they would be a good School Councillor, which they present to their classes. An anonymous ballot is held for pupils to vote for their class representatives, 1 girl and 1 boy per year group.

This is designed to be similar to a real life election in order to teach children about democracy in our society. The School Council meet regularly to organise fundraising events for the school as well as take part in other school projects. Their views are shared with their classmates and vice versa.

The School Council have the opportunity to visit Westminster for a tour and workshop in the Houses of Parliament. If present, we meet our local MP to learn more about the role. 

Forest School leaders are Year 6 children with a love of the outdoors and the Forest School environment. These leaders are selected to support younger children in making the most of their Forest School experience, whether it be through suggesting engaging activities, working collaboratively with them in outdoor play, or supporting the development and upkeep of the Forest School setting itself. 

In addition to selected KS2 lunchtime buddies, who support children as required in the dining hall or during OPAL play, Year 6 children have the additional role of being buddies to those in Reception. The children in Early Years value their buddy connection and enjoy weekly shared reading sessions with their Year 6 role models. The buddy system ensures younger children always have a familiar face and supportive presence on the playground, while also providing opportunities for shared play, reading and collaboration in whole-school events and activities.
