Pupil Leadership
At St Alban & St Stephen Catholic Primary School, our pupils have a vital role to play as leaders and role models in our school. We believe that giving our pupils responsibility as leaders empowers them, helps them to grow in confidence and enables them to discover and develop their own, unique God-given talents. Our pupil leaders are encouraged to be shining examples to the whole school community. They are empowered to become courageous advocates and to speak out about causes that they are passionate about.Pupil Chaplaincy Team
Our Year 5 and 6 Catholic Primary School Pupil Chaplaincy Team plays an important role in supporting the spiritual life of our school. They help to lead prayers in class and during assemblies, prepare liturgies and special celebrations, and encourage others to live out our Gospel values each day. The team supports charity events and fundraising, helping our school community to care for those in need. Through their leadership, they help create a welcoming, prayerful and faith-filled environment for everyone.
School Council
Our School Council, with representatives elected from Year 1 to Year 6, gives pupils a strong voice in our school community. Members meet regularly to share ideas, discuss ways to improve school life and represent the views of their classmates. They help to organise events, support fundraising projects and work closely with staff to make positive changes. Through their leadership, they learn about responsibility, teamwork and democracy, helping to make our school an even better place for everyone.

They listen carefully to both sides, encourage respectful communication and support children in finding their own solutions.

These roles give every child the chance to develop confidence, responsibility and leadership skills while contributing positively to their class community.
