At Estfeld, we believe that it is vital that pupils have their voice heard and contribute to the running of our school and also the wider community.  Each year, we hold elections for School Councillors and Wellbeing Ambassadors. We also encourage our pupils to apply to be Junior Civic Mayor or a Primary Ambassador.

School Council

Each class is represented by two school councillors with Reception and Year One's representatives being from Year Six.  Pupils do a speech for their peers and then an election is held.  The elected children have regular meetings and contribute to many school events such as the Christmas fair, charity days and also attend services in the community such as the Remembrance service.

This year's school councillors are:

Reception - Connie and Teddy

Year One - April and James

Year Two - Archer and Freya

Year Three - Ben and Emily

Year Four - Bella and Arthur

Year Five - Raajan and Amelia

Year Six - Heidi and Emilia

Wellbeing Ambassadors

There are 10 wellbeing ambassadors in school.  These are children from Year five or six who have been applied for the position and been elected by their peers.  These pupils are present on both playgrounds to support with playtime games, helping children find someone to play with and resolving minor disagreements.  The wellbeing ambassadors also have regular meetings to discuss any changes that they feel they can implement to improve the wellbeing of our pupils.

This year's wellbeing ambassadors are:

Year 5 - Skye, Amelia, Corey, Archie and Tabitha

Year 6 - James, Fiona, Connie, Grace and Charlotte

Primary Ambassadors

Doncaster is one of the first cities to have a panel of children who represent primary school pupils in the area.  These children are called the Primary Ambassadors and are all from Year Five.  Children in year Four are asked to apply for the role of Junior Mayor/Primary Ambassador in summer term and the selection process takes place during the summer holidays.  

In September, there is a robing ceremony for the Junior Mayor and the ten Primary Ambassadors.  We are very proud that three of our Year Five pupils are primary ambassadors this year.  They are Amelia, Lucas and Grace.

The children participate in many events in Doncaster throughout the year as well as attending meetings to help implement change in the area.
