Leaders
Every September our school job center opens. Children in Key Stage 2 classes can apply for the different roles available that include School Council, STEM Leaders, Creative Arts Leaders and Sports Leaders. They complete an application form and submit it to the Leadership Team. (See below for an example of the application form) Applications are then shortlisted and children are invited for an interview. Children applying for School Council are voted in by their class mates. All successful candidates wear different coloured jumpers and meet fortnightly with a member of the Leadership Team.
STEM Leaders
At Snowsfields we have a group of children who help support the delivery and development of STEM within the School. They are always on hand to support in lessons and at times run lunch clubs for children across the Key Stages. During STEM Leader meetings, the children are given the opportunity to try out new technology and software before it is introduced to the school, and are subsequently consulted as to whether it would fit within our curriculum. They will also help shape how Science and Maths is taught in our school. We believe it is important to take in and understand the views of the children as it is ultimately them who will gain and benefit the most from what we choose to introduce.
Sports Leaders
Our Sports Leaders have a passion for sports as well as healthy choices. They attend meetings to discuss sport and health, reporting on ideas and suggestions from their peers. They encourage others to make healthy choices at lunchtime. The Sports Leaders also support children to be active in the playground as well as helping to collect playtime equipment and keeping the resources tidy. In the summer term they will assist in organising Health Week and will be helping with relevant assemblies. Our Sports Leaders are raising the profile of sport and healthy living throughout the school.
Creative Arts Leaders
This year, Snowsfields Primary School held interviews for Creative Arts Leaders. Many pupils with a passion for the arts applied for the roles and after interviews were held, four pupils were appointed. Alongside promoting the Arts amongst their peers, they will help shape our creative curriculum. They will attend regular meetings with members of staff and also help to plan assemblies and deliver them to the rest of the school.
School Council
Every September each class from Year 3 to Year 6 nominate and vote for a girl and boy to represent their class on our School Council. Those chosen in Year 6 become our Head Boy and Head Girl. The School Council wear red jumpers and meetings are held once a fortnight. They are expected to be positive role models to the other pupils, and take on additional responsibilities around the school.
Head Girl
“I am looking forward to being head girl this year. As head girl, I will make sure everyone is treated fairly and is using the High Five. I want to work on making this school even better for everyone and I am excited to give out certificates to children that are helpful and friendly to others. As I’m in Year 6, I promise to be the best role model to all the younger children.”
Head Boy
“I am excited to be this year’s head boy. I am looking forward to giving out certificates to people who stand out the most for sensible behaviour and being helpful to others.
I will encourage everyone at Snowsfields to use the High Five. The other school leaders and I hope to make our school a better place. Since I am in Year 6, I will be the best role model this year for our school.”
