Pupil Leadership Team 2024 - 2025
We are excited to share with you that we have launched our new Pupil Leadership Team for 2024- 2025!
Our Senior Leaders and School Governors were absolutely blown away at our Pupil Leadership Team Final! All of the presentations from EYFS to Year 6 were exceptional! Each child spoke confidently and explained clearly their reasons for why they should be part of the PLT and how they could make our school better.
Our Governors expressed how much they enjoyed the event watching our confident children perform and commenting that they are such a credit to the school. Thank you to Mr White and Ms Warner-May for supporting this event on behalf of our School Governing Body.

As it was such a difficult decision and all presentations were of such a high standard, we announced both our 1st Pupil Leadership Team and our 2nd Team! These teams of children will complete a ‘term of office’ across three terms each. Our 1st PLT members will lead for Terms 1, 2 and 3 whilst the other children are deputies. They will then swap over roles for Terms 4, 5 and 6.
What is the Pupil Leadership Team?
- Our Pupil Leadership Team is a group of children with a representative from each year from Reception to Year 6.
- These representatives have been elected by their peers to act as the official ‘voice’ for our pupils at Barley Hill Primary School.
- Mrs Plested co-ordinates the PLT and they meet every 2 weeks to discuss ways to enhance school life at Barley Hill.
Roles and Responsibilities:
- The Pupil Leaders will attend meetings and take part in discussions.
- The Pupil Leaders bring the views of their classmates to the meeting to ensure they are acting as the voice of the children. They will also let their class know what was discussed and share feedback
- The Pupil Leadership Team will arrange fundraising activities for charities such as Comic Relief, Children in Need, Sports Relief and the Poppy Appeal etc…
- They will also come up with ideas on how to improve the school, working alongside our Teaching and Support staff, Senior Leadership team and Governors.

On Thursday 12th December the PLT invited all pupils to take part in Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day. All money raised went to Save the Children and will help make sure every child, no matter where they’re born, has essentials like food, water and a safe place to sleep at night, and will ensure children can grow up happy, healthy and become who they want to be. We raised a fantastic amount of £346! Thank you to all that took part and donated!
