Pupil Leadership

Pupil leadership at Maple Cross is a fundamental part of our school ethos. 

At Maple Cross JMI, we believe that all of our learners are leaders and throughout the school, our learners develop the skills of being Positive Communicators, Team Builders and Decision Makers. (see our Ethos and Values section for further information regarding this)

Pupil Job Shop

Developing pupils as leaders is key to our approach at school. Within our school, we display our pupil job shop in the hall. Here pupils have opportunities to apply for leadership opportunities. These opportunities can be yearlong or term projects or shorter action research focuses.
