Pupil Leadership

Pupil Leadership is a big part of school life and we have a thorough selection and recruitment process at the beginning of the academic year, teaching democracy, a British Value.

Head Pupils 

Year 6 pupils campaign to represent the pupil voice of their school. 

Head Boy for the academic year 2024 - 2025: T-J

Head Girl for the academic year 2024 - 2025: Mahya

Every child in school has a part to play to ensure that our school day runs efficiently.  Leadership roles are found in the classroom through everyday routines supported by the class teacher. At Christ Church CE Academy we also have a student council, again democratically voted for by their peers.

 School Council

What does the school council do at our school? We meet every few weeks as a group with Ms. Farrell (Head of School) or Miss Morgan (Deputy Head) to discuss current school issues. 

• We represent our class and give all pupils a voice.
• We help with the interview process when appointing Head Pupils at our school.
• We help with the interview process when appointing new staff for our school.
• We hold circle times in our own classes to raise and discuss issues.
• We help with evidence trails that other adults around school may be doing.
• We gather ideas from our class and complete surveys when needed.
• We feedback to our classes after every meeting to inform them of what was discussed and how their opinions were shared with other members of the School Council.

Well-Being Leaders

Every year, we have a fantastic team of Well-Being Leaders. Their role is to be a friend to everybody in need,  helping to sort out minor disagreements and arguments between children and to involve them in meaningful play.

They are on duty on the playground every lunchtime.  

Whole School Leadership 

Proud Pupils can apply for a variety of roles through school including:

• Head pupils
• Worship Leaders 
• School Council
• Play Leaders and Well-Being Leaders 

Play Leaders

Each year our KS2 pupils are trained to become Playground Leaders. They receive training to lead younger pupils in structured, fun games at lunchtime. Their leadership roles in school have a huge impact with better behaviour at lunchtimes because pupils are actively engaged in activities.  

The Playground Leaders are taught life skills such as communication, fair play and organising groups/teams which go a long way in raising their confidence and self esteem.
