At Southfield School, we recognise the importance of children having roles and responsibilities. We believe that pupil voice is integral to school development and decision-making. The Junior Leadership Team, School Council and Behaviour Leaders all form part of our Pupil Leadership Team.

Year 6 pupils are invited to apply for the Junior Leadership Team. There are two Leaders and two Deputy Leaders.

In September each year, Pupils complete an application form, and campaign posters are displayed across the school explaining why their peers should vote for them. We actively promote democracy and pupil voice at Southfield, and every child and adult has the opportunity to vote for their representatives.

Successful candidates work alongside staff throughout the year to represent their peers. They contribute to action planning, meet with governors, visitors and stakeholders, support school development initiatives, and share key information with the school through assemblies and presentations.

Our School Council includes a representative from each class. Members attend regular meetings where they discuss pupil concerns and explore ways to make improvements across Southfield School.

Each class selects a Behaviour Leader who serves as a role model in following our Behaviour Charter. Behaviour Leaders meet regularly to discuss behaviour across the school and consider how they can support others in upholding our shared expectations.

Through these leadership opportunities, pupils develop confidence, responsibility and resilience. They learn to communicate effectively, work collaboratively and contribute positively to the life of the school. Our Pupil Leadership Team empowers children to know that their voices matter and that they can make a meaningful difference within the Southfield community.
