Pupil Voice

Wellbeing Champions

Wellbeing Champions are pupils that will lead mindfulness sessions in class. Positive mental health and emotional wellbeing describes how we think, feel and relate to ourselves and others and how we interpret the world around us. These pupils will learn more about mindfulness and general wellbeing and be shown some mindful activities and practise these so they can go back into the class room and lead these with their class. They are easily recognisable by their yellow “Wellbeing Champion” armband.

Eco Warriors

Our Eco Warriors will meet  to discuss ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle and to protect our environment with the aim of making Stillness Junior School become “cleaner and greener”. The children will work closely with the Green Schools Project and can be identified by their grey fleeces.

PE Monitors

Our PE Monitors help run and tally the laps covered by our children in our daily mile. They also help issue and put away PE equipment, they assist the adults on sports day and give our sport related certificates and/or medals in assembly.

School Council

All children are given the opportunity to be a school council representative for their class. A different pair of children are selected to be a representative for their class every year.

The council representatives are selected to speak about the issues that their class have raised and discuss them during the school council meetings. When concerns are discussed in the group, solutions are suggested which are then taken back to the class. If the school council are not able to solve them, some concerns may be taken to the deputy and headteacher for consideration. The school council also meet and give a presentation to the governors on their roles and future projects for our school.

School Council have been involved with resolving the issues around school lunches. They have attended meetings with the catering staff and manager where together they agreed on the menu choices for the school.

School Council are actively involved with the wider community and take the opportunity to discuss and attend meetings on issue that effect our local community with the local council and other personnel.

Play Leaders

Play Leaders are role models for the entire school. They demonstrate to others how to play, how to play safely and how to include everyone. They encourage pupils to improve their sport skills and to try their best. As they are encouraged to include all pupils they make playtimes and lunchtimes a fun and happy time.

Play Leaders are on duty every day at playtimes and lunchtimes. There are twenty Play Leaders altogether and four on duty daily. They can be easily identified by the red fleeces with gold lettering saying Play Leaders on the back. The Play Leaders also meet and give a presentation to the governors on their roles and responsibilities at our school.

Peer Mediators

Peer Mediators are pupils, who have received training to help resolve minor conflicts with children of the same age.

Peer Mediators receive two days training to teach them all about mediation. They learn about new concepts like impartiality and prejudice, along with negotiation skills and effective listening. They understand that if they are unable to deal with all conflicts that arise they take such issues to an adult.

Peer Mediators are on duty one day a week, at playtimes and lunchtimes. There are twenty Peer Mediators who have one duty day every week. They can easily be identified by the black fleeces with gold lettering saying Peer Mediators on the back.

Ambassadors are our Y6 children who take on a number of responsibilities throughout the school. The Ambassadors can be identified through the white shirt and ties that they wear whilst on duty. They take responsibility and talk about things that affect them and work on issues to help improve the school environment. As Ambassadors they are expected to set an example to the rest of the school.
