Our Head Boy and Head Girl are positive role models who demonstrate our school and QUEST values through their behaviour, attitude, respect, responsibility and commitment to school life. They are expected to uphold high standards of behaviour, uniform, attendance and punctuality and to demonstrate the qualities we want to develop in all of our pupils.

They work alongside staff to contribute positively to the effective running of the school and help to make Hindley Green a safe, welcoming, inclusive and happy place for everyone.

Through these roles, pupils develop important leadership skills, including communication, teamwork, confidence, responsibility, decision-making and active citizenship. They also support our commitment to the Fundamental British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance.

Who do they represent?

The Head Boy and Head Girl represent all pupils across Hindley Green Community Primary School. They are an important link between pupils and staff, helping to ensure that children's ideas, views and experiences are listened to and valued.

How are these roles chosen?

Our pupils are invited to stand for the roles of Head Boy and Head Girl. Candidates should demonstrate positive leadership qualities and a commitment to making a difference to our school community.

Each candidate prepares and delivers a short speech or presentation, sharing their ideas, qualities and vision for their role. 

Whole school staff and pupils then take part in a fair and democratic vote, giving everyone the opportunity to have their voice heard and contribute to the selection of their school leaders.

This provides an authentic opportunity for pupils to experience democracy in action and understand the importance of having a voice and respecting the views of others.

At Hindley Green Community Primary School, as part of the QUEST Trust, we believe that every child has a voice and should feel that their ideas and opinions are valued.

Our Trust Wide Student Parliament gives pupils the opportunity to share their views, contribute to decisions and help make our school an even better place. Through this, children develop confidence, communication, teamwork, responsibility and a sense of belonging.

Who do they represent?

The Student Parliament represents the views of all pupils across the school and they work alongside our Trust school parliaments collaboratively.

How are they chosen?

One pupil from each class in Years 3–6 is democratically elected by their peers, providing an authentic opportunity to experience democracy in action.

What do they do?

School Council representatives:

• Gather and share pupil voice.
• Contribute ideas to improve school life.
• Lead discussions and debates with their classes.
• Support school and community events.
• Organise fundraising for charities and causes that matter to our school.
• Promote our QUEST and school values.

Through Student Parliament, children learn that their voice matters and they can make a positive difference to their school and wider community.

The Young Leadership Team (YLT) is an integral part of life at Hindley Green Community Primary Schools. Pupils represent the voice of their peers, helping to promote inclusion, collaboration and a strong sense of belonging across our school.

The team meets regularly to discuss issues that matter to our pupils, including fundraising, improving school life and debating important topics. Representatives gather views and ideas from their classmates.

Our YLT also works alongside other pupil leaders, including Student Parliament and the Head Boy and Head Girl, to help shape positive changes across the school. 

Through their work, our YLT helps pupils feel heard, valued and empowered, while developing confidence, communication, teamwork, responsibility and leadership skills. Most importantly, children learn that their voice matters and that they can make a positive difference to their school and wider community.
