Head Pupils

Every year, the children in Year 6 are given the opportunity to become Head Pupils of our school. Any children who want to be considered for this important role are asked to write a letter to the Head & Deputy Teacher to explain why they think they should be chosen. The school, and staff then hold a  vote to elect two Head Pupils for the year ahead.

Being Head Pupil means that you are someone who truly represents the values and attributes of St. Gerard’s. During the year, our Head Pupils will represent our school at a number of events, including visiting other schools within our Academy and  attending special events within our Parish or Academy.

Head Pupils for the 2024-2025 academic year are:

Millie & Archie

Deputy Pupils are:

Elsie & Roman

St John Fisher: Noah & Isla

This year’s sports crew are:

Eco-Warriors

Our Eco-Warriors believe that God is at the heart of everything we do and that therefore, we have to look after everything God has given us, especially our world. Each class, from Y3 to Y6, votes for two eco-warriors who will represent their class in meetings and will promote ways in which we can look after our planet every day.

Over the coming weeks, our Eco-Warriors will be looking at the amount of plastic which is used and wasted in and around school and will be thinking of ways which we can either reuse plastic or reduce the amount being used.

Y3 – Nevaeh and Chidera
Y4 – Reggie and Aubree
Y5 – Esmae & Tommy
Y6 – Holly & Alwin

Buddies

The Years 6 children are our Head-start ambassadors. They are all excellent ‘ Playground Buddies’ – looking out for those who might need a friend to play with or helping children to resolve any disagreements. They always ensure that everyone in our school has a happy break and lunchtime playtime.

As our Playground Buddies are also the Head-start team, they continually look at ways we as a school can help to develop and improve the mental health of all children in our school.

They work alongside the ‘Sports Crew’ providing  a range of playtime activities.
