Head Boy: Arthur
Head Girl: Eidie
Deputy Head Boy: Elliott
Deputy Head Girl: Eadie and Olivia
Our Year 6 children were given the opportunity to apply for the position of Head Boy, Head Girl, Deputy Head Boy and Deputy Head Girl. Many of our Year 6 children sent in fantastic applications that the panel were blown away by! The shortlisting was difficult as every child met the criteria. We decided to hold interviews which were done in groups so that we could see how they interacted with others, how well these listened, how they communicated and so that we could hear their ideas. We all know that they will do a fantastic job!
School Ambassadors
Our teachers have chosen children from their classes who they think are good role models and will represent the class and our school really well.
Our ambassadors will have regular meetings with the Head Boy and Head Girl, Deputy Head Boy and Deputy Head Girl and school leaders to find ways to make our school even better.
They have an important role to play. They will provide a way for pupils to voice their thoughts and opinions about our school. They will have their views listened to and will be involved in important decisions.
Reading Ambassadors
Congratulations to Jessica, Sophia, Maisie, Abigail, Alex, Daniel and Lottie on becoming Worsthorne’s reading ambassadors. The children had to apply for the role via an application, where they had to write why they would be a good ambassador for reading. Their role will be to read to the other children and to tidy the many reading areas around school to make sure they remain amazing! The children are extremely excited about their role.
Mental Health Champions
Olivia and Eidie have received training and are now Mental Health Ambassadors. The girls are doing a great job.
They wear green hoodies to show everyone who they are and that they are there to help.
Wellbeing Heroes
Alice and Isaac are our ‘Wellbeing Heroes’ and will work closely with Eidie and Olivia.
The Wellbeing Heroes Programme is a student-led intervention, designed to make use of physical activity as a proactive solution to mental health and wellbeing issues present within schools. Their role will be to attend training and meetings and they will help people who are finding school life challenging.
We know that they will do an amazing job!
Debate Club
Alice, Maisie, Eva, Bear and Daniel have participated in the final of ‘The Great Lancashire Debate’ at County Hall in Preston. They were crowned the Burnley area competition winners and the judges were particularly impressed with their unique idea of building greenhouses in every house in Lancashire with a garden.
The three adults and the children went on the train and spent the best part of the day listening, and sharing their ideas about how to improve Lancashire over the next fifty years. Although the debate team did not win the overall competition, all of the team were complimented on their public speaking skills. The children were amazing – these words came from one of the town councillors who was a judge. Daniel also earned a commendation for his performance.
