At Farington Moss St. Paul’s we recognise the importance of developing pupils’ leadership qualities and all have opportunities to thrive in the role of a leader of some kind throughout their journey with us.
We are passionate about empowering our pupils to become young leaders. Each pupil leadership team seeks to enact positive change within the school community and beyond as we pursue our Christian vision, ‘Thrive in the Gift of Life’. They lead campaigns, organise events, and play a significant role in the life of the school.
We support our young leaders to flourish in their roles, empowering them to:
Make decisions
Grow in confidence
Build leadership skills and character
Develop resilience
Seek ways to care for others empowering pupils to serve their community
Challenge injustice
Be courageous advocates
Sports Leaders
Pupils from Year 5 and Year 6 haver the opportunity to become a sports leader. They spend a full day training delivered by our partnership with the South Ribble Active Sports team and once qualified can lead sporting activities to groups of children. This year the leaders create and deliver practical sports games for KS1 children every Thursday lunchtime.
School council
Our school council meet to discuss school, community, national and international issues. Following a local initiative by South Ribble Council (an event attended by the group), they wanted to look at the issue of car ‘idling’ during school drop-off/collection (cars parked with their engines running). They have carried out a vehicle survey of cars they found idling informed parents of the negative effects to the environment. They shared their findings with the school during a whole school worship. Well done councillors.
Eco Warriors
Our Eco Warriors are a team of enthusiastic young leaders who are passionate about protecting our planet and making a positive difference to our school and the wider community.
They take pride in promoting environmental awareness and encouraging everyone to make small changes that have a big impact. From reducing waste and recycling to saving energy, caring for our school grounds and encouraging others to make eco-friendly choices, our Eco Warriors lead by example and help us become a greener, more sustainable school.
Children’s Chaplain
Our Children’s Chaplains play an important role in supporting the spiritual and emotional wellbeing of our school community. They are caring, approachable young leaders who help promote kindness, friendship, compassion and respect, reflecting our Christian values in all that they do.
They help others feel welcomed, valued and included, offering a listening ear and encouraging children to talk about their feelings, share their worries and support one another. Through prayer, reflection and acts of kindness, our Children’s Chaplains help nurture a caring, supportive environment where everyone knows they are valued and loved.
Worship Group
Our Worship Group is made up of enthusiastic pupils who help bring our school’s Christian vision and values to life through collective worship. As young leaders, they play an important role in creating meaningful, engaging and reflective worship experiences for our school community.
The children help to lead worship through prayers, Bible readings, songs, reflections and sharing important messages linked to our Christian values. They encourage their peers to think about how they can show kindness, compassion, forgiveness and love in their everyday lives.
Wellbeing Ambassadors
Wellbeing Ambassadors play an important role throughout the school, promoting positive wellbeing and recognising acts of kindness, care and support. They celebrate our Wellbeing Wonders, children or staff who have been spotted making a positive difference to the wellbeing of others.
We also recognise and celebrate wellbeing beyond the school gates, encouraging our whole school community to share examples of kindness and care shown at home and in the wider community.
The Head Teacher has ensured that teaching is consistently good and pupils’ progress is tracked carefully.
