Our Children<\/h2>

At Puriton, our children are at the heart of all we do.\u00a0 We encourage them to make positive choices and to take responsibility for their learning and actions during their time at school.\u00a0 They engage with all that we offer and form positive relationships with each other and our staff.\u00a0 Puriton pupils are happy and confident.<\/p>

To promote pupil voice, we have developed purposeful leadership roles for all pupils to engage in across the school.\u00a0 Linking into our learning of fundamental British Values, children vote democratically to elect the pupil leaders.<\/p>

Within their different roles, the children have the opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas and to become engaged with school development and improvement.\u00a0 We have the following leadership roles:<\/p>

School Ambassadors<\/strong><\/h3>

These children take an active role in Rewards assemblies, school tours and school interviews.\u00a0 They also meet regularly with the Head of School and attend some Senior Leadership Team meetings and Governors’ meetings.\u00a0 They also work together to produce the Pupil Voice newsletter.<\/p>

Our school ambassadors are;<\/p>

Nora A, Niamh D, Mabel D and Avah K<\/p>

House Captains<\/strong><\/h3>

Each of our four houses, Blackdown, Mendip, Quantock and Polden, have two house captains.\u00a0 The house captains support the teachers in delivering weekly house assemblies.\u00a0 They count badges, give out awards and certificates.\u00a0 They also take responsibility for counting weekly Dojos and checking the Reading Rocket scores.<\/p>

Sports Ambassadors<\/strong><\/h3>

Our Sports Ambassadors work closely with Mr Lawrence, our PE subject leader.\u00a0 They support with the development of active play and help to take care of the PE resources.\u00a0 They report on any competitive sports fixtures and work alongside Mr Lawrence to share their ideas for how we can further encourage children to be active in school.<\/p>

School Councillors<\/strong><\/h3>

The School Council are overseen by Mrs Brown.\u00a0 Each week in our Reward assemblies, they give a speech to share what learning they have enjoyed in their classes.\u00a0 They take the lead on different events throughout the year, such as organising charitable donations for the Food Bank and the Christmas Shoe Box appeal.\u00a0 The School Council decided on the new tree names for our classes at Puriton.<\/p>
