Here at Stamford Park Primary School, we believe that empowering our pupils with responsibility will prepare them for the world they will face when they leave us. Therefore, we aim to create a multitude of possibilities for children to showcase their leadership skills across a wide range of areas.
Our school leadership teams:
We are the SPPS Head Pupils!
The Head Pupils are exemplary role models within our school community, leading our community and supporting the wider leadership of Stamford Park Primary School. As senior pupils, they play a key role in setting high standards and embodying the values we promote across the school.
We believe our Year 6 children have an important part to play in shaping school life and are expected to carry out their responsibilities with maturity and commitment. Being appointed as a Head Pupil is both a privilege and a prestigious role — an opportunity to lead by example, represent the school with pride and make a positive difference to others.
