“At St Alban & St Stephen Catholic Primary School, our pupils have a vital role to play as leaders and role models in our school. Our Pupil Chaplaincy Team and Prayer Leaders are just two examples of the way in which our pupils are empowered to shape and lead our school, helping us all to continue to grow and learn together with God. We believe that giving our pupils responsibility as leaders helps them to grow in confidence and discover and develop their own, unique God-given talents. Our pupil leaders are encouraged to be shining examples to the whole school community. They are empowered to become courageous advocates and to speak out about causes that they are passionate about.”
