Pupil Leadership Team
Higher Bebington Junior School
Pupil Leadership Team
At Higher Bebington Junior School, we believe the very best schools foster a pupil-led culture, where children take on meaningful leadership roles and have their voices heard. We truly value the work of our pupil leaders and use their ideas to help shape the teaching and learning that takes place across our school.
We are proud to be moulding the leaders of the future—young people who are not only ready for work, but ready for the wider world. Our aim is to nurture confident, articulate leaders who can express their views to any audience and apply their skills in real-life situations.
As a result, our Pupil Leadership Team continues to grow, with opportunities for every child to find a role that suits their strengths and passions. Please see below for a snapshot of some of our pupil leadership teams.
At Higher Bebington, children feel safe and supported in sharing their opinions. Their voices are captured through pupil surveys, learning walks, and dedicated leadership team meetings—ensuring every child has the chance to make a difference.
