Pupil Roles

Pupil Ambassadors

The Pupil Ambassadors have been instrumental in leading initiatives to improve Mental Health and Well-being in school and in the local community this year. In school, they have worked alongside our named Mental Health First Aider to implement Well-being Wednesdays. The team have allocated a safe space within the school for children to visit when they feel necessary. As well as they, they have lead on pupil and staff shout-outs to increase confidence within the school community. For next year, the team will be developing the shout-outs to all our stakeholders.

In 2023/24, pupil ambassadors are working with leaders to improve playground provision to ensure that all children's likes and inserests are represented. 

Community Ambassadors

In 2025/26 community ambassadors developed links with the local food bank through The Trussell Trust Bexley Food Bank. As a result, the school building is now a drop off point for donations and are able to distribute food vouchers.

Foodbank Letter Pupil Leadership

In 2023/24, after being inspired by Shelter's Christmas video the community ambassadors started a giving tree, where the community could donate £5 to buy children without a home a toy for Christmas. 

Anti-Bullying Ambassadors

Every year, Anti-Bullying Ambassadors (ABA) were recruited across the school. The role of the ABA is as follows:

  • ABA to lead initiatives across the school that promotes positivity and friendship.
  • ABA to lead an assembly every half term.
  •  ABA to meet with the Anti-bullying Leader regularly in order to discuss and raise concerns.
  • ABA Lead training across the school to staff, pupils and parents
  • ABA to gather pupil voice

Play Leaders

In Autumn utilising the Sports Premium Funding through Change4Life, children across Years 5 and 6 were trained as Play Leaders. Their role is to lead and teach children in KS1 and Lower KS2 playground games. This was led by our Head Midday Meal Supervisor to encourage more active lunchtimes.

Happiness Hereos

Starting in 2026, Happiness Heroes are pupils who champion the myHappymind approach across the school. They help promote positive mental wellbeing by modelling the key myHappymind principles, such as understanding emotions, building resilience, showing kindness, and developing a positive mindset. By acting as role models and supporting others, Happiness Heroes help create a calm, supportive school culture where everyone feels safe, valued, and ready to learn.
