Pupil Development and Leadership at Chaddesley Corbett
At Chaddesley Corbett Primary School personal development and leadership are well planned and embedded in our school life and curriculum. We believe it is key for children to gain skills, knowledge and understanding they need to lead healthy, independent lives and to become responsible citizens.
Our curriculum has been designed with our core values and British Values being at the forefront and are used to develop children’s personal attributes and attitudes such as self-confidence, resilience, leadership and self-discipline. At Chaddesley Corbett Primary School we believe leadership opportunities are a non-negotiable in order to shape and develop the leaders of the future. Alongside class leadership we have a variety of groups set up, where children have been elected by peers using a democratic voting system. These young leaders are important for the direction of our school and the ever changing world around us. We have recently introduced a student parliament. This includes an elected Prime Minster and Deputy Prime Minister, Eco minsters, Well Being ministers, Curriculum Ministers, Sports Ministers and Community Ministers. Each class will have two representatives for each area of parliament. Every week, a different parliament group will meet to discuss different topics and to share their thoughts on different aspects of school life. Children at Chaddesley Corbett are important stakeholders and pupil voice is valued. Our curriculum also offers opportunities for children to work in partnership with other stakeholders of the school and the local community. This enables us to deliver enrichment activities that develop children’s confidence, responsibility and leadership skills. We actively enlist the support of local, national and international agencies to raise pupil’s aspirations for their future. |
