Pupil Leadership
We believe the best schools have a pupil lead culture where children take on key leadership roles and get their voice heard. We whole-heartedly value the work of our pupil leaders, using it to shape the teaching and learning that happens at our school. We are moulding leaders of the future, ready for work, ready for the world. We strive to craft confident and articulate leaders who can share their views to any audience and apply their leadership skills to real life situations.
The aim of the various teams within the Pupil Leadership Team is to enable children the chance to have leadership within the school, ensuring that their voices and opinions are heard. We are a pupil led school, regularly receiving pupil voice to make improvements.
Please check out our video which explains how we challenge our children and promote pupil leadership at Lostock Primary School.

The Pupil Leadership Accreditation offers a formal way to champion and celebrate the leadership skills of our children. They will develop these skills in school and this accreditation requires children to create a portfolio in which they gather and upload evidence to showcase their skills. They grade their work using a self-assessment framework that covers ten core skill sets, grouped into three themes:
· Developing myself
· Working with others
· Contributing to my community
Lostock Listeners
Lostock Listeners aim to provide an environment that is positive, caring, safe and friendly. Pupils can resolve low level conflicts and help children come to a resolution with guidance.
Our Lostock Listeners are volunteers from Year 6, rotated on a daily basis.

Growth Mindset
We encourage our pupils to have a Growth Mindset and develop the belief that they can achieve anything through hard work and determination. The children are taught to learn from their mistakes and that success comes from hard work and effort. Each week, our Growth Mindset leaders nominate a child in school who has shown resilience and persevered with their learning that week and we celebrate them for being a Growth Mindset Champion.
