Westmoor Primary School
Pupil Leaders
We believe it is important to develop leadership skills alongside teaching our children to become good citizens within our school community, as well as the wider community.
The qualities of leaders are those which we want to develop in our pupils, such as decision making, listening to and supporting others, good communication and taking part in positive change.
These roles help children learn about the importance of the democratic process, the importance for people to have their say and be listened to and the importance of voting and accepting a democratic decision. Children understand that in most countries that is how the Government works. We highlight the necessity of truth as part of this process and celebrate the opportunity to live in our democratic society.

There are a range of leadership opportunities available for children to participate in. The majority of these roles require pupils to apply and become elected by their peers in a democratic process.
School Council
Our School Councillors work in a team to listen to others, share ideas and agree on actions to make school the best it can be. They are role models for their peers and learn to speak confidently to groups of children, deliver assemblies, communicate clearly and help with specific days within school. They collect donations of money for events and food for the foodbank.

They take care of the class iPads and they help their class if they are stuck with the Computing work. All Digital leaders get the chance to represent the school at Lego League competitions, where they learn how to code algorithms, debug and tinker with their designs. They also look at sustainability of technology and how to make suggestions to improve it.

Reading Buddies
We have worked hard to build a strong reading culture here at Westmoor Primary School. The Year 6 Reading Buddies take great pride in encouraging and supporting our younger children with their reading. Once per week, the reading buddies listen to their partner read their reading book, talk about the story and then enjoy sharing a book from the library together. This is a fantastic opportunity for our younger readers to practise their skills, build confidence and develop a love of reading.
