• Junior Governors
  Junior Governors

  Our Junior Governors are a group of pupils who are elected to represent the views of all pupils and work together to improve our school. We follow a democratic process to elect the Junior Governors. If they wish to become a Junior Governor the pupils must complete a short application form expressing why they feel they will be a member of the team. They are then invited to an interview where they need to discuss why their are suitable for the role and what impact they would have on the school.

  At Alexander McLeod Primary School we have 1 representative from each Key Stage 2 class that form the Junior Governors. In the Junior Governors there is a Junior Chair of Governors and a vice chair.

• Junior Travel Ambassadors

  The Junior Travel Ambassador scheme is run by Transport for London. The role of our Junior Travel Ambassadors is to make travelling to school safer and more active.

  At Alexander McLeod Primary School we encourage pupils and parents to travel to school by cycling, scooting and walking (active travel) wherever possible.

  This school travel policy explains how we will be encouraging active travel to school. We will discuss the policy with the pupils regularly to ensure its relevance. For pupils unable to travel to school actively, we encourage use of public transport or car-share.

• House Captains
  House Captains

  At Alexander McLeod, we are assigned to one of four houses: Bursted, Oxleas, Bostall and Abbey. The houses are all named after locally found woods. As a House Captain, children are required to be exemplary role models to fellow house members. They undertake important roles such as meetings with visitors, working alongside the junior governors and supporting the leadership team in whole school decision making.

  Each House has been assigned a charity that supports children's welfare. The charities are local, national and international based with the idea that this will help us understand the importance of being good global citizens. Any fund raising events we host throughout the year contribute to our allocated charities.

• Junior Sports Leaders

  Our Junior Sports leaders are responsible for promoting the love of sport across Alex McLeod. They play a vital role in supporting playground sports activities by hosting games, teaching children the required skills to play effectively and managing games. The JSL support our PE lead with establishing high-quality, memorable sports days for all children at our school. They help decide what activities will be held, organise the equipment and keep a record of points achieved.

• Midday Marvels

  The midday marvels work alongside our Midday Meal supervisors to oversee the lunchtime arrangements. This group of children are responsible for ensuring children in Key Stage 1 are taught how to play. They work closely with the younger children to ensure that a range of exciting activities are available and managed during lunchtime. The midday marvels also ensure the dining hall is well maintained and that all children are following the rules during the lunch hour.
