Pupil Leadership
The Crest Award
As the new academic year starts, it means
that the Year 8s can now take part in The
Crest Award. The award is voluntary and can
be completed any time from Year 8 up until
the end of Year 10. All pupils are encouraged
to get involved in the award as it embraces
the ethos and values of our St Richard’s
community.
The Year 8 pupils will soon receive an invite
into their Crest Google classroom where full
instructions, and information for parents and
carers, can be found.
Please take a look and encourage your
children to take part. Please email Mrs Ellis at
mrselliss@strichardscc.com if you would like
further information.
Wellbeing/Anti-bullying Ambassadors and
Heads/Deputy Heads of Houses
This term we will be asking Years 7-10 to apply for the roles of
Wellbeing Ambassadors, which includes Anti-Bullying. A job
description will be sent to the Form Tutors asking pupils to apply and
send a sentence about why it is such an important role and how they
would like to develop this throughout the school. Assemblies will be
held in the first few weeks to explain this.
We will also be asking Year 9 and 10 to apply for Heads and Deputy
Heads of House. The job descriptions and applications will again be
sent to Form Tutors. Assemblies will also be held about applications.
All of these roles are very important to the school and pupils are
encouraged to develop their ideas on how they feel it works best.
This year, we will be teaming up with the Student Council for a really
cohesive Pupil Leadership Team. We are really excited to see how
our wonderful teams will develop ideas.
We will hold two Pupil Leader meetings a term where School Council, Wellbeing Ambassadors and Heads of Houses
all meet together, overseen by a selection of Senior Prefects and our new Head Boy & Head Girl. In doing so, we aim to
streamline event planning, charity work and pupil voice.
Wellbeing Ambassadors and Heads of House applications are to be sent to Mrs Sinfield School Council applications
are to be sent to Miss Lewis. Included in the Pupil Leader calendar for this term are House assemblies and World
Mental Health Day.
