This week, our school held its eagerly anticipated House Captain Hustings Assembly, a key event in our student leadership calendar. Pupils from across the school gathered to hear inspiring presentations from our Year 6 candidates, each hoping to be elected as House Captain for one of our four houses: Water, Fire, Air, and Earth.

The hustings gave each candidate the opportunity to share their vision, values, and ideas for leading their house. From creative fundraising plans to team-building activities and sports day motivation, the speeches were full of enthusiasm and thoughtful proposals. It was clear that our Year 6 pupils had put a great deal of effort into preparing their presentations, demonstrating confidence, responsibility, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact.

Following the assembly, the children had the exciting opportunity to vote for their house captains. These votes will be carefully counted before the beginning of next week, and we look forward to announcing the results soon.

The assembly not only showcased the leadership potential of our oldest students but also encouraged younger pupils to think about the qualities that make a good leader. It was wonderful to see the school community come together to support their peers and engage in the democratic process.

Well done to all our Year 6 speakers—you’ve already made us proud!
