Pupil Responsibilities
At St Alban’s, our children are given a wealth of opportunities to develop their skills, confidence and character beyond the classroom. We offer responsibility roles for all children and leadership opportunities for our older pupils, helping to promote confidence, resilience and tolerance through meaningful participation in school life.
Each year, we hold a democratic election to appoint a Head Girl and a Head Boy. Children from Years 2 to 6 listen to candidates present their reasons for seeking election before casting their votes in a secret ballot. This provides a valuable opportunity for pupils to experience democracy in action, and all children enjoy taking part in the electoral process.
Elections are also held within each class to choose representatives for the School Council. Two children from every class are elected as School Councillors, ensuring that pupil voice is heard throughout the school. The Head Girl, Head Boy, Deputy Head Girl and Deputy Head Boy serve as the School Council Leaders.
In addition, each of our school houses has two House Captains. These pupils lead and encourage their house teams throughout the year, promoting teamwork, sportsmanship and a strong sense of belonging within our school community.
