Pupil Leadership
Pupil Leadership Groups at St David’s
At St David’s we believe in creating a pupil leadership culture where children take on key leadership roles and have their voices heard. We want our children to be actively involved in school improvement and to breathe life, relevance, purpose and meaning in all that happens at our school. The aim of the various pupil leadership roles is to enable children to take on leadership responsibilities within the school, ensuring their voices and opinions are heard and acted upon. We actively encourage children to challenge, discuss and debate issues which are important to them.
We believe that by giving ownership of the school to our children, it creates a better school and builds leaders of the future. This belief builds on our Catholic Virtues and is underpinned by our Mission Statement.
Our Pupil Leaders are trained to help in delivering this vision through:
-
Working alongside the staff in making key decisions
-
Sharing their views and opinions and ideas to improve learning and teaching
-
Being visual around the school to promote good behaviour and safety
-
Actively seeking the views of other pupils to identify and key issues and changes in the school
There are a number of different whole school roles and responsibilities that children can be involved in, but alongside this, within the classroom, children are also given a variety of roles and responsibilities.
Our Pupil Leadership groups at St David’s are:
Heddlu Bach (Mini police), Minnie Vinnies, Criw Cymraeg, Wellbeing Warriors, Digital Leaders and Eco committee.
Guardians of the Globe is our Pupil Voice initiative, where the children from Y2-Y6 meet together in different groups to engage with community and global issues.
The overarching theme for this term is 'Poverty' and the children have found a local charity that supports families with babies and young children with essential items such as wipes, nappies, weaning food and long-life food.
