At St Augustine's, our pupil leadership groups work together as our Mission Leadership Team, helping to put our faith into action and ensuring that Catholic Social Teaching is at the heart of school life.
Mission Leadership provides children with opportunities to serve others, lead by example and make a positive difference within our school, parish and wider community. Through their roles, pupils develop the confidence, skills and compassion needed to become active citizens who live out the Gospel values in their everyday lives.
Our Mission Leadership Team includes pupils who take responsibility for areas such as chaplaincy, charitable outreach, care for creation, wellbeing, pupil voice and community action. Working together, they lead initiatives that support those in need, promote dignity and respect, care for God's creation, and encourage every member of our school community to contribute to the common good.
Inspired by the teachings of Jesus and the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, our pupil leaders champion values such as human dignity, solidarity, stewardship, participation and the preferential option for the poor. Through fundraising, charitable campaigns, prayer, worship, environmental projects and community partnerships, they help bring our school mission to life.
Mission Leadership enables our pupils to recognise that they can be agents of change, making a difference not only within our school but also in the local community and the wider world. By leading with faith, compassion and service, they help ensure that St Augustine's remains a community where everyone is welcomed, valued and inspired to live as disciples of Christ.
Please see more information about each group below.
Our Pupil Governors play an important role in ensuring that the views of children are heard and valued within our school community. As representatives of their peers, they work closely with school leaders and the wider Mission Leadership Team to help shape initiatives, promote positive change and contribute to the continued development of our school.
Pupil Governors act as ambassadors for the student body, gathering ideas and feedback from their classmates and helping to ensure that all pupils have a voice in decisions that affect school life. They meet regularly with senior leaders to discuss key issues, celebrate successes and identify ways to improve our school community. They work closely with Mrs. Colbeck to monitor and report on standards across school.
Through their leadership, Pupil Governors promote our Catholic values of respect, responsibility, service and justice. They support school improvement projects, contribute to decision-making, and help to create an environment where every child feels listened to, valued and included.
As part of our wider Mission Leadership programme, Pupil Governors develop confidence, teamwork and leadership skills while learning about democracy, citizenship and the importance of serving others. They are role models for their peers and help to ensure that St Augustine's remains a place where everyone can flourish, contribute and make a difference.
By empowering children to take an active role in school life, we encourage them to become responsible, compassionate leaders who are ready to make a positive impact both within our community and beyond.
Our Pupil Governors for 2026-27 are Henry, Ashton, Smilte, Scarlett Campbell and Nell.
