Pupil Ambassadors
We are proud of the enthusiasm and commitment our pupils show in making a positive difference to their schools and wider community. Across both schools in the Federation, our Pupil Ambassadors take on a range of leadership roles, representing the views of their peers, supporting others and helping to improve school life.
Through these opportunities, our pupils develop confidence, responsibility and leadership skills while putting our values of Respect, Resilience and Aspiration into action.
House Captains
Our House Captains play an important leadership role within the school community, with two pupils appointed to represent each of our four houses: Attenborough (Green), Backshall (Blue), Packham (Yellow) and Humble (Red).
Our houses are named after four inspiring British nature presenters – Sir David Attenborough, Steve Backshall, Chris Packham and Kate Humble – who have dedicated their lives to exploring, protecting and celebrating the natural world. Their work reflects our school values of Respect, Resilience and Aspiration, inspiring our pupils to care for others, face challenges and strive to make a positive difference.
House Captains are appointed following staff nominations and consideration by the Executive Leadership Team and Pastoral Team. They are chosen because they demonstrate our school values and have the maturity, confidence and leadership skills needed to represent and support their House.
House Captains are expected to be positive role models and ambassadors for our school. They promote inclusion, kindness and respect, ensuring that everyone feels valued and that all pupils have the opportunity to participate and belong.
They support school life in a variety of ways, including leading and encouraging participation in house events, supporting younger pupils, assisting during assemblies and school events, welcoming visitors and helping to develop other pupil leadership opportunities.
Through their leadership, teamwork and enthusiasm, our House Captains help to build a strong sense of community, encourage healthy competition and make a positive contribution to school life.
Young Governors
Our Young Governors play an important role in representing the views of pupils and helping to make a positive difference to school life across the Federation.
Our Young Governor team is made up of pupils from Years 3 to 6. Each governor represents their own year group as well as a younger year group, ensuring that the views and experiences of pupils across the school are heard and valued.
Pupils in Years 3 to 5 are elected by their classmates, while a Year 6 pupil is appointed as Chair to lead the team, support the younger governors and help ensure that everyone has the opportunity to contribute.
Our Young Governors are expected to demonstrate our school values of Respect, Resilience and Aspiration, alongside leadership, maturity, confidence and a commitment to representing others.
The Young Governors meet regularly to discuss pupil voice and ideas for improving school life. They lead and support a range of initiatives, including charity events, competitions, assemblies, awareness campaigns and environmental projects, as well as developing links with our local community.
Through their leadership, teamwork and enthusiasm, our Young Governors help to ensure that every pupil has a voice and knows that their ideas and opinions matter.
Reading Ambassadors
Our Reading Ambassadors play an important role in promoting a love of reading across the school. They encourage their peers to read for pleasure, share their enthusiasm for books and help create a school community where reading is celebrated.
Reading Ambassadors are chosen because they demonstrate our school values of Respect, Resilience and Aspiration, alongside a genuine enthusiasm for reading and the confidence to inspire others.
Our two Year 6 Lead Reading Ambassadors provide leadership to the wider team, supporting younger ambassadors, helping to organise reading activities and events, and encouraging others to develop their confidence as readers and leaders.
Together, our Reading Ambassadors support initiatives such as World Book Day, National Poetry Day, reading assemblies, competitions and activities, as well as helping to care for our libraries and Reading Sheds.
Through their enthusiasm, leadership and passion for books, our Reading Ambassadors help inspire others to discover the joy of reading.
Tech Team
Our Tech Team is a small group of three pupils selected by the Executive Leadership Team to support the smooth running of technology across the school. They play an important role in preparing for assemblies and whole-school events, setting up laptops and presentation equipment, managing audio and video resources, and working alongside staff to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Tech Team members are chosen because they demonstrate our school values of Respect, Resilience and Aspiration, alongside the responsibility, reliability, confidence and maturity needed to support technology across the school.
Working alongside our Computing Lead, Mr Williams, the Tech Team also helps to manage and care for school technology. This includes checking that devices are stored safely, helping to organise equipment, encouraging other pupils to treat technology with care and reminding the school community of the importance of looking after our digital resources.
Tech Team members are expected to remain calm under pressure, think logically when solving problems and demonstrate responsibility when handling school equipment. Through their reliability, teamwork and willingness to help others, they help ensure that technology is used safely, efficiently and responsibly throughout the school.
Sports Captains
Our Sports Captains play an important leadership role in promoting active, inclusive and respectful sporting behaviour across the school. Chosen by our PE Leaders, they are pupils in Years 3 to 6 who are passionate about sport and enjoy encouraging others to take part.
Sports Captains are expected to demonstrate our school values of Respect, Resilience and Aspiration, while acting as positive role models. They show excellent sportsmanship, encourage others, celebrate effort and achievement, and help create a positive attitude towards physical activity.
During lunchtimes, they help to organise and manage sports equipment, support younger pupils, encourage safe and fair play and help ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate. They are also expected to communicate clearly with their peers and staff and deal calmly and respectfully with minor issues that arise during play.
Our Sports Captains will have opportunities to support sports events, competitions and activities throughout the year, helping to encourage participation and develop the confidence and skills of other pupils.
Through their leadership, teamwork and enthusiasm, our Sports Captains help to make sport an enjoyable, fair and positive experience for everyone.
