Pupil Leadership Opportunities
At Ormskirk Church of England Primary School, we value providing children with leadership opportunities as we recognise that our children are leaders of the future. By offering these opportunities, it allows children to develop skills such as communication, prioritisation, listening and giving and receiving feedback. These leadership opportunities allow children to express their views on the school and support leaders in shaping its development. We encourage all of our pupils to embrace the wide range of opportunities available to them. This enables our children to shine as individuals and supports the whole school community to shine.
We have developed a range of leadership opportunities for our children. For some of our leadership positions, children are elected by their peers through a democratic process. Others require children to apply for posts by way of a written application.
