Pupil Leadership
Pupil Leadership is an integral part of our school, where children have a voice in school decision-making. Our Pupil Parliament helps children grow into well-rounded and thoughtful individuals, shaping their character in ways that benefit them both inside and outside of school.
As a Stoneyholme Leader:
- I am confident
- I am reliable

- I am respectful and caring
- I am hardworking
- I am responsible, independent and influential
-
I am trustworthy
- I have the right to give my opinion and for adults to listen and take it seriously (UNCRC Article 12)

Pupil Voice
I like that I can help others when they need help.
Year 3 child
I like helping Mrs Mistry with things on the board and the iPad. Helping everyone with the internet and helping with the login for freckle.
Year 5 child
I applied for Re Ambassador by drawing my version of a perfect world and I had to write why I would like to apply. I like my job because I can help my school learn about collective worship. I have achieved social skills, confidence and leadership skills.
Year 6 child
I try to be a good role model so people can copy me.

Whole School Election
Democracy, one of our British Values, means 'rule by the people'.
In a democracy, like the UK, the people elect the and have a say in how it is run. They do this by voting in election.
We are going to have our very own school election.
Please watch the following videos and choose who you think will be the best Prime Minister for Stoneyholme Primary School.
You will each get a ballot paper and you have to choose one candidate and place your vote in the box. Make sure you keep your vote private!
