Carlton Colville Primary School

This year we are offering 9 different pupil leadership roles, giving the children the chance to make a positive impact on our school community. We believe it’s important to have a pupil lead culture where children take on key leadership roles and that their voices are heard. We also want to help mould leaders of the future and we are continually striving to craft confident and articulate pupils who can share their views and apply their leadership skills to real life situations.
Within each leadership role we actively encourage children to challenge, discuss and debate topics which are important to them and to our wider society. These leadership teams support aspects of the school including the curriculum, the learning behaviour and wellbeing of pupils attending our school and our school environment.
The 2023-24 pupil leadership roles we offer this year are:

The specific Leadership Roles will then be advertised to the appropriate year group/s. Leadership Role expectations will be shared so that all children fully understand what is on offer to them and what they would be expected to commit too if they applied and were chosen to take on the Leadership Role.
Children who are interested in making an application are encouraged to read and digest the information relating to the positions before deciding which to apply for, and, in light of this all children applying for one of the advertised positions should complete a Pupil Leadership Application Form and hand it in to the appropriate adult leading the chosen Pupil Leadership Team. This needs to be done in a given time period. The first Leadership Roles will always begin after the October half term each year.
The appointment process will vary dependant on the Leadership Role and number of pupil applications received. The Adult Team Leaders will usually manage the selection process and fill all the vacant Pupil Leadership positions. Pupil selection could be done directly from using the information within the application forms or through an additional interview process, if deemed necessary. All children are then informed about the outcome of their application.
All children who apply for a post should be prepared to:

Complete an application form
Be interviewed by the adult/s leading the appropriate Pupil Leadership Team
Be part of a group interview
Speak in front of adults/peers to e.g. share views and experience

Please note, not all positions will require the children to do all of the above, but you must be prepared to be involved in one or more of the selection processes outlined if necessary.
