Pupil Leadership
At Compton CE Primary School, we believe children should have ownership of their learning and genuine roles to perform within the School community. Children throughout the school are given the opportunity to represent their class within the School Council. In addition, year six are provided with additional roles, such as School Captains, Worship Committee, Librarians, Reading Ambassadors, Team Captains and Year 6 pupils also run lunchtime clubs.
School Council
Being a School Councillor is a very important role to uphold as you are responsible for representing the views of your class. Each year, children can put themselves forward for the role of School Councillor by preparing a speech to explain why they would be the best person for the job. Two School Councillors are then elected by their class and they are rewarded with a shiny new badge in assembly! The two School Captains are also part of the School Council team, providing us with an even greater level of support and ideas!
The School Council meets weekly to share ideas and suggest possible improvements to the school. Fundraising for charities is one of the most important roles that the School Council takes on. This includes raising money for both local and national charities.
School Captain
This highly prestigious position is sort after by many in year six. To be selected they must show themselves to be excellent role models. They will need to write a letter of application, explaining why they would like to be considered and what they would bring to the role. Their tasks will include showing visitors around the school and helping staff.
Eco Council
Our Eco Council is a group of pupils who meet each month to discuss eco friendly and environmental issues within school which prepares children to live their future lives with consideration for global issues. We look after our school site and think of ways to improve how we use it.

Worship Committee
The Worship Committee help to plan and lead the different church services throughout the year. Meeting with our vicar or another member of our church community, the Worship Committee discuss and explore the theme of the service beforehand, and suggest ideas. They select and read bible readings, write prayers and read aloud in church. They are an active group of leaders who take pride in our Christian values.
Team Captains
Children in year six prepare a speech to explain why they would make a good team captain, in preparation for termly elections. Team Captains join a collective worship rota, so they take at least one assembly during the term (some opt to do an additional one) which is linked to our Christian Values. They receive cups for team points and sporting events and are given the option to organise inter-house competitions.
Our school captains at work
Our School Captains enjoyed working at the Trussel Trust Foodbank warehouse with their peers at our federated primary school, Beedon.
