Pupil leadership pathway
We believe the best schools have a pupil-led culture where children take on key leadership roles and get their voice heard.

We wholeheartedly value the work of our pupil leaders, using it to shape the teaching and learning that happens at our school. We are moulding leaders of the future, ready for work, ready for the world. We strive to craft confident and articulate leaders who can share their views to any audience and apply their leadership skills to real life situations.
The aim of the various teams within the Pupil Leadership Team is to enable children the chance to have leadership within the school, ensuring that their voices and opinions are heard. We are a pupil lead school, regularly receiving pupil voice to make improvements. Therefore, we are giving the children the opportunity to assist with those improvements along the journey.
Class Responsibility
The first rung of the student leadership pathway is a class responsibility. This will be a role taken on in class where students have their first opportunity to develop leadership skills. They will have a small responsibility in their classroom and the opportunity to have some ownership over the running of the class. All pupils are given an opportunity to have a Class Responsibility during each academic year
Whole Schoo Responsibility
Whole school responsibility is the next step up in student leadership. Students will have a role that will impact on an area outside their own classroom.
The selection process for each role will be different, depending on the role and the expectations of it.
The roles that exist in school are not set in stone (apart from school council).
Some examples of whole school responsibilities include:
Lift St James the Great
Chapman Way,
East Malling,
E19 6SD
