Our leadership opportunities for children
We strongly believe that all children should have the opportunity to lead, support and help their peers alongside shaping their school and being the architects of their own learning.
Head Boy and Head Girl
At St Joseph’s we promote the Fundamental British Values and follow a democratic approach in appointing our Senior Student Leadership positions. Children in Year 6 apply for the role, deliver speeches to the whole school and then the children across the school vote for the children who they would like to represent them.
House captains
We have four houses: Lisieux, Assisi, Lourdes and Kolbe
Each year the children in Year six stand for election as the House Captain for their house. Each child in school then has the chance to vote for them and the school council tally the votes and the winners are announced in our Democracy Assembly
Vice-House captains

Each year the children in Year six stand for election as the Vice-House Captain for their house. Each child in school then has the chance to vote for them and the school council tally the votes and the winners are announced in our Democracy Assembly
Student Council
In each class we have student council representatives to act as role models and greet our visitors.
Each year the children in each class stand for election as a student councillor, developing their understanding of the British Value of Democracy. They will explain to their class why they think they would be a representative. Each child in class then has the chance to vote for them .
Chaplaincy Team and Mini Vinnies
In each class we have worship leads; they will help their peers plan and deliver class acts of worship and will lead liturgies in the class.
Each year the children in each class stand for election as a worship lead. They will explain to their class why they think they would be a good worship lead.
