At Wittersham Church of England Primary School, we believe that pupil leadership plays an important role in developing confidence, responsibility and a strong sense of belonging. Each year, we proudly appoint our Head Student Team, a highly anticipated occasion that celebrates the leadership potential of our pupils and provides them with a wonderful opportunity to make a positive difference to school life.

The selection process takes place at the beginning of the academic year and is rooted in our commitment to pupil voice and democracy. Children wishing to take on these prestigious roles prepare and deliver a speech to the whole school, sharing their aspirations, ideas and reasons for wanting to represent their peers. The school community then votes for the candidates they believe best demonstrate a positive attitude to learning, a commitment to our Christian values of Courage, Compassion and Cooperation, and a genuine desire to make our school the very best it can be.

Our Head Student Team are ambassadors for Wittersham, setting an excellent example through their attitudes, actions and interactions with others. Throughout the year, they undertake a range of important responsibilities, including welcoming visitors, leading school tours, attending special events and representing the school within the wider community. Most importantly, they champion pupil voice, ensuring that the ideas, opinions and experiences of their fellow pupils are heard and valued.

Through these opportunities, our Head Students develop essential leadership, communication and teamwork skills whilst inspiring others to take pride in their school and contribute positively to our community.

We are delighted to introduce our Head Student Team for this academic year:

• Head Students: Orla and Charlotte

• Deputy Head Students: Olivia and Emily

We are incredibly proud of these pupils and look forward to seeing the positive impact they make as they embrace their leadership responsibilities and help shape another wonderful year at Wittersham.
