Pupil Leadership

We believe that every pupil in our school should be represented and heard. Children are what make our school a school, and it’s imperative that their voices and feelings about how we can improve and develop are heard. Our Pupil Leaders are elected by their peers. There are a wide range of leadership roles in our school that enable pupils to take on responsibility, have a voice and make a difference to others and themselves as a result.

Within school we have a team of pupils at all levels who support and lead on things within school.

Head Student team – made up of year 6’s

Our  ‘Leading Lights’  are pupils appointed as Spiritual Leaders of the school.  A representative is chosen from each class in the school and at the start of each academic year.

Pupils interested in becoming a Leading Light are invited to make a written application to explain what they feel they could bring to the role and how they intend to uphold the Christian values of the school, whilst acting as role models for other pupils.

Applications are then considered by the Religious Education leader in conjunction with other staff members and the Senior Leadership team, with the successful candidates being announced and presented with their badges during Collective Worship.

Responsibilities of the Leading Lights include:

• Taking part in church services
• Lighting the candle in collective worship
• Leading the Greet and Send in worship
• Evaluating Collective Worship and collecting data about how to improve it
• Meeting regularly to reflect on Religious Education displays and practices across the school
• Monitoring the use of our classroom reflection areas and our prayer room
• Planning worships to lead with other classes.

The Leading Lights team work closely with the Religious Education Leader to ensure that worship is effective in our school and that our Christian Distinctiveness is at the forefront of everything we do.

At Aletheia Academies Trust, we all understand the importance of getting all pupils involved in the direction of the schools and how students can be an instrument to affect positive change in our school communities. Bi-monthly a number of school councils from each school get together to discuss what individual schools have done recently, to plan what they want to achieve in Student Voice for next year and ways to ensure the group is feeding into the Trust to have an impact on the overall development.
