At Peterhouse Primary Academy we have a fantastic Junior Leadership Team. Each year we elect a head boy and girl, a deputy head boy and girl, and a group of prefects. These wonderful children work together to make our school a better place to be.

2023-24 Junior Leaders

What do we do?

Each year we create an action plan to help improve our school. In previous years the Junior Leaders have:

• Improved outdoor play equipment
• Purchased an outdoor table tennis table
• Reduced litter around the school
• Improved the resources available to children in the early years
• Helped to improve behaviour at lunchtimes
• Improved the experience of eating in the dining hall

We also all get the chance to be Headteacher for the day! This involves:

• Dressing to impress (obviously!)
• Answering and sending emails and phone calls
• Spending some of the school money on new resources
• Having our lunch provided for us!
• Plenty of hot chocolate!
• Leading a Junior Leadership Team meeting
• Learning walks
• Break and lunch time duties

At the end of the year, we get to have a working lunch. This means that we get taken out to a restaurant and we discuss our achievements through the year.
