At St Peter’s we want to give all students the Opportunity to be courageous advocates for the things they are passionate about. In 2024 we introduced a suite of Leadership roles available to students so they could make this difference. These groups have had an incredible year and are already busy planning where else they might make a difference next year.
Below is an update from all groups from the Summer term:
Art Leaders: The Art Leaders have worked tirelessly with us to help the department run smoothly. They have cut paper to the right sizes to aid lessons and have organised and arranged supplies. They have been hardworking, enthusiastic and used their own initiative throughout.
Christian Union: The Year 10 Christian Union Leaders are preparing to take over in September from the Year 11 Leaders who were brilliant, fantastic and served wonderfully throughout their busy schedules. We wish them the best of luck and can’t wait to see the Year 10’s get stuck in.
Community Leaders: The Community Leaders have fundraised by selling lollies and have raised £70 which will go towards future merit spending opportunities. They have also organised and run a staff sports day which caused many a giggle whilst also fundraising for our Community.
Cultural Leaders: The Cultural Leaders are rounding off the year with a Global Sports Quiz which ties in with Sports Day . Our first few weeks in Autumn will be spent planning our next project which will involve running a drop-in DuoLingo internet cafe.
Digital Leaders: The group have enjoyed servicing the Chromebook trolleys this term, using their new skills to make a real difference to teaching and learning in the school community. Next year we hope to grow this team larger so that we can better rotate the servicing so that all Chromebooks get a check in at least once a half term.
Mental Health and Wellbeing Ambassadors: The MH&WB Ambassadors have come together to design posters for classrooms for the Autumn Term. They are coming up with lots of ideas to promote MH&WB across the school and we’re excited to see what happens in September.
Photography Leaders: The Photography Leaders have taken part in many different events this year including the Character Awards Evening, Musical events and the Prom. They have been active in the planning of these events to make sure they knew what was required and to get the timings of the events. They have given up their own time and photographed each event to a high standard. They have also created some wonderful displays to inform and inspire future photographers.
Relational Ambassadors: The Relational Ambassadors have met up this term to reflect and complete their training. They are now preparing to train approximately 27 of the new Year 7s and enable Relational Ambassadors to be part of every Year 7 lesson during the 2025-26 academic year.
Sparx Leaders: The Sparx Leaders have been helpful and proactive in their support of the year 7's.
Sports Leaders: This half term the Sports Leaders have been busy putting their planning, organisation and communication skills into practice. They have been key to the success of Trinity School KS1 and KS2 sports days, the Y7 and Y8 inter schools athletics competitions hosted at St Peter’s, the Exeter Schools Athletics Championships at Exeter Arena and the Y6 PE transition event.
STEM Leaders: STEM leaders have had a busy summer term researching and trialling ideas for next year’s activities. Year 9 have completed their Bronze Industrial Cadet award and won the award for the most innovative project in the South West region. Year 7 & 8’s are trialling the ‘I’m a scientist, get me out of here!’ package where an online chat with top UK scientists is booked on a theme of their choice. So far they’ve explored the themes of space and nuclear chemistry and set the scientists some very challenging questions. Year 8 have also worked on their bronze Crest award and hope to encourage year 7’s to complete this with them next year.
Student Council: The Student Council have been busy working with Year Leaders to strengthen student voice across the school. They have also been extremely busy putting together a teacher Taskmaster event which will be shared this week and next. Money made from the event will be put towards prizes for the merit marks.
Student Librarians: Our Student Librarians have been helping in Tuesday Woolcraft Group from ‘Wool on the Exe’ and have inspired those around them.
Year Leaders: The Year Leader teams have been meeting with their Head of Year more regularly and have then been reporting into the Student Council.
Young Enterprise Alumni Leaders: This years team won the Devon final for the Company Programme and just before the Alumni Leaders left after their exams, they voiced how proud they were of the accomplishments of their peers.
