Pupil Leadership & School Council

The Peer Supporter Program empowers Year 9 pupils to provide guidance, encouragement, and support to Year 7 pupils as they transition into secondary school. Rooted in the belief that there is brilliance in everyone, the program encourages the older pupils to recognise and nurture the individual strengths and potential of our new cohort. Through training and teamwork, Year 9 supporters learn to lead with unlimited ambition — setting goals, showing initiative, and inspiring younger pupils to do the same, while fostering a sense of belonging.

At its core, the role embodies the values of kindness, humility, and integrity. Peer supporters serve as positive role models who promote respect, understanding, and collaboration, celebrating their successes within the school community. By dedicating themselves to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others, the peer supporters not only support their peers but also cultivate their own leadership, compassion, and sense of responsibility. Together, they uphold the spirit of unity and service that defines our community.

House Captains play a vital role in the success and spirit of our house system. They are responsible for organising and managing house events, ensuring that activities run smoothly and everyone feels included. By encouraging participation, they help build teamwork, pride and a sense of belonging within their houses.

As positive role models, House Captains lead by example, showing dedication, enthusiasm and respect in everything they do. Their leadership helps to inspire others to get involved, try their best and show good sportsmanship. Most importantly, House Captains have the opportunity to discover brilliance of others, helping every pupil find their strengths and shine.

House Captains are the heart of our house system, motivating, organising and inspiring their peers to achieve excellence together.

We are proud to introduce the EMTAS Young Interpreters Scheme (YIS), a leadership initiative designed to support students who speak English as an Additional Language (EAL). Led by our Year 10 Prefects, bilingual or not, the scheme helps new EAL arrivals and their families feel welcome and accepted as they settle into school life in the UK.

YIS plays a vital role in providing linguistic and cultural assistance, promoting inclusion, empathy, and intercultural understanding across our school community. It also enhances the confidence and leadership skills of our Young Interpreters. As part of our commitment to excellence and diversity, YIS contributes to well-being of EAL students at Kings’, including disadvantaged pupils like refugees and asylum seekers.

The Pupil Wellbeing Team plays a vital role in supporting the emotional and social health of students across the school. They act as approachable peers who promote kindness, inclusion and positive mental health. Their responsibilities include raising awareness of wellbeing initiatives and signposting support services. A key part of their role is feeding into the school’s anti-bullying programme by reporting incidents to staff and encouraging others to do the same. They work closely with staff to ensure every student feels safe, valued and listened to, creating a culture where wellbeing and respect are priorities for all.

Year 6 Ambassadors play a key role in supporting pupils as they prepare to transition from primary to secondary school. They visit local primary schools to share their experiences of life at King’s, helping younger students feel confident and excited about the move. Ambassadors answer questions, offer reassurance, and describe the many opportunities and activities available at King’s. Through this role, they develop strong communication, teamwork, and leadership skills. They act as positive role models, demonstrating the values and expectations of the school. Their aim is to make every new student feel welcome, informed, and inspired to join the King’s community.
