Pupil Leadership And Voice

We believe in empowering pupils – and we see our pupils grow in confidence and eloquence every day.

Our approach to developing the whole child, combined with our focus on Learning Dispositions, transforms quiet children into confident leaders who thrive within our diverse learning community.

While we have traditional positions of responsibility like Heads of School, Prefects, and Sports Captains, we go beyond that.

We believe that true growth happens not only academically but also in character. We prepare our pupils for the future by developing their personal attributes and leadership qualities, recognising that leadership takes various forms and goes beyond titles or badges.

Come on in, we have so much to show you about how leadership develops the Sherborne WAY

 

 

Prep pupil leadership and voice

Where You Matter Most

We value our pupils' voices and actively involve them in shaping their school and the provision we offer. This is where our School Council Representatives come in – where authentic relationships flourish and every journey is different.

At the beginning of each academic year, Key Stage 2 pupils are invited to apply for this important role. They write manifestos that are shared with their classmates, and elections are held to select one representative from each form.

 

 

What this means for your child

Your child discovers their unique path to leadership within our supportive community.

Whether naturally outgoing or quietly thoughtful, they will find their voice and learn to make meaningful contributions to our school community.

Through this experience, your child builds confidence and develops the future skills needed to navigate a rapidly changing world.

 

 

Through the School Council, we instil in our pupils the importance of having their voice heard and the understanding that each individual contributes to the success of our school. It's an invaluable lesson that will serve them well in their future endeavours
