Student Leadership

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 and in 2025 we have further built on these. These groups were formed in October 2025 and already have many exciting plans for the year ahead. 

Below is an update from all groups from the Autumn term:

Art Leaders - Students have been setting up resources for lessons. They have been trimming paper, cleaning rooms and preparing clay.

Christian Union Leaders - Christian Union Leaders have been leading CU sessions, contributing to answers and leading topical discussions.

Cultural Leaders – The Cultural Leaders contributed to a hugely success Languages Week and have since been working on preparing Winter Holidays slides and a Blooket quiz for Key Stage 3 tutor time and for the School TV. They are also running a Candy Cane Messenger Service from the Christmas Market and hall at lunchtimes.

Digital Leaders – The Digital Leaders have enjoyed getting hands on with our practice set of Chromebooks, learning a set of skills they can use for basic repairs both in and out of school.

Design & Technology Leaders - Our design technology leaders have been helping to organise our DT rooms, clear away projects and prepare materials for the term.  These are practical skills they can apply at home or in school.

Food & Nutrition Leaders - Our F&N leaders have been creating a timetable for the week where they split roles every Monday they meet to help with the food tech order. They have been helping to sort the food away into the correct spaces for the week ahead. The team has also been planning the development of the food tech herb garden that will come to life in the Spring Term.

Learning Environment Leaders - This term the LEL team has been working on a project to audit the school site, check displays and ensure that the boards look great. They have been working with the Humanities staff to update their corridor over Christmas.

Litterbug Leaders - Our LBL team has created a timetable where they walk the site each day picking up litter that has blown out of bins. They have also met weekly to plan a uniform and equipment to make their role more visible in the school. We are beginning to plan a logo that we can apply to our high-vis jackets. Their team are currently deciding if they want to create the logo themselves or hold a whole school competition. Watch this space and continue to recycle and dispose of your waste responsibly.

Mental Health Ambassadors - Students have contributed, helped to plan, script and be filmed, staring in a resource that will lead schools in Devon to support PSHE.

Production Leaders - Students have set up and started running a Drama club for Year 7. 

Tech Team - Tech team have continued to ensure the sound is working for all main hall events such as assemblies.  They have also done a great job of setting up the stage and sound for lunchtime music performances in the hall.  

Photography Leaders - Students have been working on maintaining cameras, printers and that the Chromebook trolley is plugged in to charge.

Reading Ambassadors - Our Reading Ambassadors have been deciding how they can make a difference at St Peter’s. They have lots of ideas and have already begun focus on developing ‘Reading Spaces’. They are currently recording an Audio Story Time Collection of Christmas Stories for the Website, and are fundraising with the library at the Christmas Fayre by having a second-hand book stall.

Relational Ambassadors - We are beginning the process of recruiting some new Year 7 Relational Ambassadors to work alongside our successful Year 8 team.

Sparx Leaders - To start the year our Sparx Leaders have really hit the ground running, showing real initiative and taken a lead role in helping other students. 

Sports Leaders - The students have started looking at Unit 1 Communication, developing their verbal and non-verbal communication in a variety of different environments. They are proudly wearing  their Sports Leader t-shirts and many have started to complete their volunteering hours.

STEM Leaders - Students have already run a session making bathbombs and are already in the planning of their next session 'Fun with Flames'. At the Christmas Fayre they are having a stall to raise funds for future projects.

Student Council - The Council contributed to Languages Week which was a huge success. Since then they've represented the views of the students in a meeting with Mr Randall and have fed back to students about the things they have raised.

Student Librarian - The Student Librarians have been attending their timetabled shifts in the library. They have been preparing old and slightly worse for wear stock to sell at the Young Enterprise Christmas Fayre.  Here, Student Librarians will help set up the table and sell the books. 

Year Leaders – The Year Leader team have represented the views of their tutor groups at Year Leader meetings and are preparing their first set of feedback which can go back to tutors.
