Our Student Leaders
The school belongs to our children and in serving them and supporting their futures they are enabled to have a voice in shaping the school. By asking open questions, appointing pupil leaders and using questionnaires we ensure children are heard at St Saviour's. Structured opportunities for leading together are offered through elections which happen at every establishing week in the first week of the autumn term.
School Council
Every establishing week of the year, children who would like to lead present an election speech and a boy and a girl are voted by the classmates to be school councillors. The school council meet regularly with the head of school and executive head teacher and influence school development planning, policies and curriculum and occasionally with day to day running.
Worship Ambassadors
As a Church of England school, our Christian ethos is an integral part of all that we do. For this reason, a pair of children from each of Years 3 to 6 are worship ambassadors. The pupils promote the role of worship in our school, helping to lead worship through the invitational and prayer leadership, in worship, in school and beyond. They meet with the head of school and the parish leaders to plan worship for the term, and reflect on the current liturgical calendar and how this relates to our connection with God.
Our worship ambassadors represent the school at important ecclesiastical events such as the diocesan leavers service at All Saints and others including visiting St Paul’s. They support our parish and in school wellbeing lead to install and run reflection and prayer stations and capture reflections during key times of year.
Eco Warriors
Elected pupils in Years 3-6 are our eco warriors and meet regularly to identify ways to reduce, reuse, recycle and to protect our environment. The pupils recycle class paper weekly. They are currently investigating Eco Schools, and are consulting on animal adoption through World Wild Life Fund. The children are finding out about the eco warriors, especially in year 6, lead a sustainability week for the whole school. They have fed into local landscaping and building projects, such as Alton Street, planted trees being involved in how we connect with and care for our natural world.
Anti-Bullying Ambassadors
Our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors follow the Dianna Anti-Bullying Award and where possible train with other children from other schools to deliver on a set of promises and developments that would make our school better for all. They look out for and support any child who may be concerned that they are experiencing bullying and support with leading Anti-Bullying Week.
Junior Travel Ambassadors
Travel ambassadors are responsible for promoting active travel such as walking, cycling, and scootering to and from school, highlighting Road Safety Week. They work with the wellbeing lead to capture information and create plans that support our commitment to caring for our world and being healthy. Other campaigns include the “No Loitering” were targeted for the whole school with specific classes too leading the workshops.
Year 6 Special Projects
Pupils in year 6 have the opportunity to make a difference to school before they leave not just through feedback at exit interviews but also through running specialist weeks of their choosing and passion to make a difference. These have included legacy projects such as sustainability week, building an African garden, tree planting for future pupils, equalities focus among others. The BEE project each year enables them to work with businesses to create and sell resources to raise money for a cause of their choice. They have made and sold bags, mugs, picture frames among other things and even pitted their growing financial literacy skills against each other’s teams in a ‘Dragons Den’ presentation to big business!
