Young Leaders
Richard Atkins Young Leaders
To prepare our pupils for future life we want to encourage them to take on roles of responsibility within the school; one such role is that of a Young Leader. These prestigious positions are open for pupils from Year Two upwards.
How to Become a Young Leader
Pupils have to go through a rigorous job selection process in order to become a Young Leader:
- Firstly they complete a job application form followed by an interview with the Assistant Headteachers.
- Then successful candidates are written to informing them that they have been successful in their application. This helps to prepare pupils for future job applications.
- All Young Leaders will be expected to show commitment to their role by giving up some of their playtime and occasionally after school, to carry out their duties.
Roles of Young Leaders
The Young Leaders will have many roles which contribute to the smooth running of the school;
- Lunchtime Young Leaders
