School Ambassadors
At Cannon Park, we are very proud of our School Ambassadors, who take their roles and responsibilities seriously. Our School Ambassadors are role models for Cannon Park demonstrating our school values: teamwork, respect, integrity, enjoyment and discipline. These pupils bring queries, suggestions or important information to the meetings so that decisions can be made.
The School Ambassadors give all children a meaningful voice. Each year, a group of children from Year 5/6 are democratically elected for the role. Two ambassadors become the ‘voice’ for each year group, representing their class at meetings to talk over important whole-school issues. The children also take an active role in raising money for charities and school projects.
Reading Buddies
We are delighted that so many of our children volunteered to become Reading Buddies this year. Pupils from Years 4, 5 and 6 will be generously giving up some of their time each week to read with children in Years 1, 2 and 3. This fantastic initiative not only helps our younger pupils develop their confidence, fluency and enjoyment of reading, but also provides our older children with valuable opportunities to develop their leadership skills, responsibility and confidence as positive role models. We are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm shown by our Reading Buddies and look forward to seeing the positive impact they will have across our school community.
Mental Health Champions
Our Mental Health Champions are a dedicated team of Year 6 pupils who play an important role in promoting positive wellbeing across the school. Working closely each week with the NHS Mental Health in Schools Team, they develop their understanding of mental health and wellbeing through the Five Ways to Wellbeing: Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning and Give. Through their training and discussions, our Champions learn how to support others, encourage positive relationships, and help create a school environment where everyone feels safe, valued and happy. They act as positive role models for younger pupils and work to ensure that wellbeing remains at the heart of school life.
Language Heroes
Our Cannon Park Language Heroes are a group of children in Year 5 and Year 6, who are passionate about helping new arrivals, who may not speak English as a first language, settle into school. Our Language Heroes speak another language as well as English so they can help others, who may not speak as much English. They meet regularly to work together to enhance our school learning environment.
Recently, they have created welcome posters to put up around the school. Many of our Language Heroes can speak another language so they may also help new arrivals settle in to our school community with the ability to speak multiple languages.
