At Barnehurst, we recognise the importance of pupils taking ownership of their learning and having greater roles within school decision-making. The term pupil leadership refers to education principles and practices that reflect the importance of providing children with the opportunities and support to play a role in making the decisions that affect them. The aims of our Pupil Leadership Team include:
- Recognising that pupils have logical perspectives and opinions on issues that matter in the classroom, in the school, and in the community.
- Giving pupils an active role in influencing decisions about these issues as well as in the implementation of these decisions.
- Enabling pupils to participate as active young Global Citizens.
Our Pupil Leadership Team is organised into teams according to the school priorities. These are:
