Pupil volunteering roles
Our children LOVE to contribute to school life and our wider community- it helps to create a strong sense of belonging for every child.
Key roles:
| House captains | Year 6 children can be elected to be in charge of our Houses, and will have duties specific to this role. |
| School councillors | Each class can elect a school councillor to take part in school council meetings, driving change across the school and meeting influential people. Interested pupils can present to their class reasons for being voted in, followed by a democratic vote. This year they will be looking at school uniform, SMART phones and designing a trim trail! |

You will notice them easily in their green Ranger jumpers. 7-8 Year 5s will have the chance to apply for this role, and will be involved in increasing biodiversity, looking after the grounds and improving the outdoor spaces. |
| Community Officers | Anyone can apply for this role as they will be added to our community data base.
