Reading Ambassadors
Led by Miss Manns
Being a reading ambassador is all about reading for pleasure and sharing the enjoyment of reading a great book. Our reading ambassadors have been chosen for their love of reading and their enthusiasm to share this with others. Part of the job of a reading ambassador is to encourage others in school to read more and find their own love of reading. There is much research that shows children who read regularly at home perform better at school. As well as being beneficial to learning, it is also lots of fun when you find the right types of books for you!
Another role the Reading Ambassadors take, is making sure others get to know about new books, and all things related to reading. They do this through:
– Learning about new reading books and how this can encourage a love of reading. They can then show and tell the rest of the school all about anything new that they have tried out and liked. This happens through making posters and book reviews for the library and sharing these during events such as World Book Day.
The Reading Ambassadors will read to other classes and individuals to help show what great reading role models they can look up to.
They will pick and recommend books for children in all year groups to highlight the range and types of books we can all get in school for everyone to enjoy. Each term the reading ambassadors go to our local bookstore to purchase new books for our Library and classrooms.
Reading Ambassadors meet weekly with our English Leader to talk books and share ideas on how to promote reading for pleasure in school.
Sports Ambassadors
Led by Mr Davies
Each class in our school has a Sports Ambassador – a pupil who helps to promote a love of sport and physical activity among their classmates. Ambassadors are chosen from both boys and girls, and together they act as positive role models who encourage teamwork, fair play and enjoyment in all sporting activities.
As part of their role, Sports Ambassadors meet regularly with the PE Coordinator to share the views and ideas of their classmates. This ensures that every child has a voice in shaping the way sport and physical education are experienced across the school. They also provide valuable support in organising and promoting sporting events, helping to make them enjoyable and inclusive for everyone.
Through their enthusiasm and leadership, Sports Ambassadors help to create an active, supportive school community where all children are encouraged to take part, stay healthy, and develop confidence through sport
Maths Ambassadors
Led by Mrs Weston
The Maths Ambassadors make up a newly formed group of Key Stage Two children who are passionate about Maths in school and the greater community.
From September 2025, they will be available to support children with their learning and mentor them through any challenges they may have. Their responsibilities will include collecting ideas on improving maths in our school and running our newly formed Maths Hub. After Easter, they will also become mentors to new maths ambassadors lower down the school.
The Maths Ambassadors will meet once a week to plan ways in which to develop maths across the school as well as support those who need help with their Maths in school.
Maths Ambassador roles and responsibilities:
• To share a love of maths.
• To celebrate achievements.
• To introduce competitions and new ideas.
• To raise the profile of maths in school.
• To lead activities relating to maths.
• To give the pupils in their class a voice and help them to share their ideas.
• To support other members of the school.
With the help of our Maths Ambassadors, we intend for all pupils at Captain Webb to be Marvellous Mathematicians with a real passion for the subject.
School Council
Led by Miss Jenkins
At Captain Webb Primary, our school council is an important part of school life. It is an opportunity for children’s views, opinions, ideas and voices to be heard. This all helps towards children having an active part in developing and improving our school community.
Each year group from Years 1 – 6 each have two representatives. These children meet, alongside a teacher, every half term to discuss a variety of topics and decide what actions we would like to take to help improve the school. These topics have all come from prior discussions that the school council representatives have had with their class. Minutes of each discussion are taken, which include topics spoken about and actions that need to be taken (and by who).
After each meeting, school council representatives feedback to their classes about the discussions and actions of the meeting. These are also displayed on our school council board for everyone to see. Mrs Passey is also informed of any decisions made.
Eco‑Council
Led by
At our school, pupils are inspired and empowered to become active guardians of the planet. Guided by the Department for Education’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy, we help children build the knowledge, skills, and optimism they need to face environmental challenges with confidence.
Through our involvement in the National Education Nature Park, pupils take a hands‑on role in transforming areas of our school grounds into flourishing natural spaces. They map habitats, plant and nurture wildlife‑friendly areas, monitor biodiversity, and contribute meaningful data to nationwide environmental research. This practical experience helps children understand their responsibility in caring for the natural world and demonstrates how small actions in one school can contribute to national change.
Government guidance encourages all schools to involve pupils in their sustainability planning. At our school, children help shape our Climate Action Plan by collecting data, suggesting improvements, and taking part in initiatives that reduce waste, increase biodiversity, and promote sustainable travel.
Sustainability education also develops essential life skills. Pupils learn to use digital tools, explore environmental science, and collaborate on real‑world projects. These opportunities help build leadership, teamwork, and problem‑solving skills—preparing children for the green careers of the future and supporting the aims of national sustainability programmes.
Our Eco‑Council consists of elected pupils who lead the way in promoting sustainability across the school. These pupils are our Environmental Champions in school. They encourage their peers to get involved, plan eco‑activities, and monitor how effective our environmental actions are. Their voice and leadership help make our school a greener, more responsible place for everyone.
