These include the School Council, Digital Leaders, Library Leaders, and the Eco Council. Each leadership position plays a vital role in ensuring that our school functions smoothly and that our students have the chance to voice their opinions and make a positive impact.<\/p><p>We strongly encourage all students to consider participating in these leadership roles as they provide an excellent platform for personal growth, fostering skills such as teamwork, decision-making, communication, and responsibility. Taking on these responsibilities at an early age equips our pupils with the necessary skills and mindset to become future leaders and valuable contributors to their communities.<\/p><p>We believe that by giving ownership of the school to our children it creates a better school and builds leaders of the future.<\/p><p>\u00a0Our Pupil Leaders are trained to help in delivering this vision through:<\/p><ul><li>Working alongside the staff in making key decisions<\/li><li>Voicing opinions and ideas to improve learning and teaching<\/li><li>Being visual around the school to promote good behaviour and safety<\/li><li>Actively seeking the views of other pupils regarding key issues and changes in the school<\/li><\/ul><p>There are a number of different whole school roles and responsibilities that children can be involved in, but alongside this, within the classroom, children also are given a variety of roles and responsibilities. They may (for example) be \u2018Art Monitors\u2019 in charge of all things creative, or \u2018Book Monitors\u2019 who support the teacher by handing out books.<\/p><p>Again, by giving children responsibility and ownership of their class it builds respect and a greater sense of autonomy.<\/p><p>Our leadership teams:<\/p><ul><li><a
