At Laceby Acres Primary Academy we value our children’s ideas. As a school we appreciate their initiatives that allow our school to move forward. We value their dedication and commitment allowing them to take on roles and responsibilities that enhance personal growth.
The pupils support the school by leading on areas that they feel passionate about. Our teams consist of children from Foundation Stage, Phase 2 and Phase 3 who all bring their unique strengths and personalities that contribute to the ethos of our school.
Our Student Council is made up of Prefects and Ambassadors. Every child has the opportunity to become an Ambassador. Being a member of the school council allows pupils to develop confidence and responsibility.
Our pupils are encouraged to:
- Promote healthy, safer lifestyles
- Develop good relationships rooted in mutual respect
- Have a voice and share their views
- Prepare to be active citizens in the wider world
Our school council gives pupils the experience of:
- Planning, monitoring and preparing small projects
- Debating, speaking and listening skills
Our pupils are passionate about ensuring we look after our planet. They understand that we all have an important role in preserving the planet for future generations. The elected Eco-Committee are responsible for making sure we are energy efficient and reduce waste.
Reading Ambassadors
At Laceby Acres, reading it at the heart of our curriculum. Each class has a selected Reading Ambassador who shares their love for reading and books with their fellow pupils. The reading ambassadors ensure the library and reading areas are kept tidy and well-stocked. A part of their role they read with pupils during lunchtimes and take their very own briefcase on to the playground at breaks and lunchtimes.
Subject Ambassadors
Our Subject Ambassadors work alongside the teacher subject leaders to promote, celebrate and foster positive attitudes towards learning. They are role models and leaders in learning, raising the profile of their subject and highlighting excellent learning and work from others.
Wellbeing Ambassadors
At Laceby Acres, Wellbeing Ambassadors have a responsibility to make sure children have someone to play with and are supported. They receive specific training from Compass Go where they learn methods to manage anxiety in order to offer our pupils support from their peers. They support anyone who is feeling sad or lonely and help to develop friendships. The Wellbeing ambassadors support playtime games and activities also.
Our Y6 and Y5 children apply for the role of prefect and are given different roles and responsibilities to carry out throughout the school. They can support with the dining hall at lunch, monitor corridors and cloakrooms during break time and take responsibility for ensuring communal areas are stocked and tidy. They are role models for the younger children and promote high standards of behaviour and learning.
Our Lunchtime Ambassadors are selected daily and will support children in the Dining Hall and in the play ground.
