Team Captains Elected

This week, the school has been caught up in election frenzy as the children in Year 5 have been standing for high office as team captains. A huge number of children stood and made great speeches during the hustings with every child in Year 5 taking part in some way or another. The election was held yesterday in the gym, which served as a polling station, and the results announced today in assembly. It was a close-run election and all the Year 5 candidates showed great confidence and courage in standing for office. In assembly, we took the opportunity to focus on the importance of exercising the democratic right which underpins British society – voting for your leaders and taking the time to evaluate your choices, looking carefully at each candidate’s pledges and comparing them to their actions.
