Junior Leadership Team

The Junior Leadership Team is group of pupils who are elected to represent the views of all pupils and work together to improve their school, the community and the world.

We follow a democratic process to elect the Junior Leaders. If a child wishes to become a Junior Leader, they must give a short speech to their class. A democratic vote then takes place and one child is elected from each class (Year 3 to Year 6). Our Junior Leadership Team must model our school values at all times.

As part of the Junior Leadership Team, children will support the Senior Leadership Team, Head Teacher, teachers and all other members of staff to find ways of improving the school experience for all pupils. The Junior Leadership Team are the representative of all pupils to enable them to have a say in improving their own education and developing new ideas for the future.

The Junior Leadership Team meet staff regularly and discuss issues that are important to the children. They have an agenda, which they create, and a member of the Junior Leadership Team takes the minutes and another chairs the meeting.

Why do we have a Junior Leadership Team?

  • To improve the school according to the children’s point of view.
  • To make sure the children have a platform to voice their opinions.
  • To discuss and raise issues that matter to the children.

What do we do in our meetings?

The Junior Leaders meet with Mr Ball, Mrs Darlington or another member of SLT to discuss the action plan for the term. They then meet with their classes to discuss ideas about changes and improvements to our school. During the following meeting, issues are then raised and they discuss how to move forwards with our ideas. They carry out surveys within school to gather pupils’ opinions and then discuss these at our meetings and make decisions about what we need to do next.
