Special Jobs Around School...
"Pupils readily take on and enjoy additional responsibilities, for example, as members of the school council, eco-committee or e-safety ambassadors. They successfully contribute their views in bringing about improved changes, for example, reducing the number of warnings in place on the traffic-light behaviour system so that it is more effective." (Ofsted 2014)
Wombwell Park Street Primary School children have lots of opportunities to take part in special and important jobs in and around school...take a look!
Head/Deputy Head Boy and Girl
Our Head Boy and Head Girl, supported by our Deputy Head Boy and Girl lead a team of 'Prefects' - a group of Year 6 children who are definitely our 'Always children' and have been for many years! These pupils model our '3Bs' to an outstanding level - Best Work, Best Manners and Best Behaviour! They can ALWAYS be relied upon to be in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing! They are perfect prefect role models for others to follow! They are presented with their badges, by our Governors, in a special assembly at the start of the year to which parents are invited.
School Council
We have an effective school council which gives children the opportunity of voicing their own opinions. Through an election process, two class council representatives are selected each year to sit on the school council. Please have a look at our blog to see what we have been up to - it is in the 'Kids Zone'. They too are presented with their badges, by our Governors, in a special assembly at the start of the year to which parents are invited. This year, Miss Garratt and Miss Baxter are leading our school council and will be helping the children to make appropriate decisions to help improve our school. They have already done amazing work in planning our Children in Need Day!
School Arts Council
As a school we are passionate about creativity and the arts. Pupils on our Arts Council support Mrs Longden with leading Arts through school. The council work together to plan lots of exciting events and interventions. They work with their peers to find out what children think about the arts at our school and collect ideas and suggestions from them in order to keep the Arts exciting and engaging at our school.
Eco Warriors
Classes will also elect 2 children as their Eco-Warriors who can be easily recognised by their specially designed badges. They carry out a number of duties around school such as re-cycling, litter picking, energy conservation, and contribute to meetings to form the environmental action plan. They are led by Miss Clementson, our Science Leader. They too are presented with their badges, by our Governors, in a special assembly at the start of the year to which parents are invited.
Digital Leaders
We have a team of pupils (Y1-6) who promote safe use of the internet (Online Safety) and support Mr Fidment and Mrs Firth in their roles as Online Safety Coordinators, to deliver assemblies, assist younger pupils in Online Safety lessons and generally raise the profile of Online Safety around school. They too are presented with their badges, by our Governors, in a special assembly at the start of the year to which parents are invited.
Playground Leaders / 'Purple Caps'
Playground Leaders (aka 'Purple Caps') do what their title says! They lead the playground, wear purple caps and help our SMSAs organise games and activities for the other children! They too are presented with their purple caps, by our Governors, in a special assembly at the start of the year to which parents are invited.
Yellow Caps
These children are selected by our PSA, Mrs Hitchens. She chooses six responsible, reliable and respectful UKS2 children to help her make play times fun, enjoyable and ensure all children have a friend to play with. They look after our TEAM! They are presented with their badges, by our Governors, in a special assembly at the start of the year to which parents are invited.
Sports Leaders
These children are selected by our Sports Coach, Mr Smith. He has chosen six responsible, reliable and respectful UKS2 children to help her make play times fun, enjoyable and ensure all children have a friend to play with. These children are responsible for running sporting activities at playtime and lunchtimes and encourage the children to develop the key skills and attributes we look for in children that play team games together.
Reader Leaders
As a school we are passionate about promoting the love of reading through school. Our reader leaders support Miss Baxter with leading Reading through school. The leaders work with their peers to find out what children think about Reading at our school and collect ideas and suggestions from them in order to keep Reading exciting and engaging at our school.
