At Amotherby School, we believe in empowering our pupils to take on leadership roles and make a positive impact within our school community. There are numerous exciting opportunities for pupils to develop their leadership skills, including becoming a Lead Learner, where students are recognised for their exemplary behaviour and commitment to learning. Our School Council gives pupils a voice in shaping the future of our school, while the Eco Team works on important environmental initiatives. For those with a passion for writing, the School Newspaper offers the chance to share stories and ideas with the whole school. Additionally, our Playground Buddies support younger students, fostering friendship and teamwork during break times. These leadership roles not only help students grow but also contribute to making Amotherby a vibrant, caring, and thriving school community.

Eco Team 

Our Eco Team plays a key role in helping Amotherby Community Primary School care for the environment and take positive action on climate change. Made up of pupils from across the school, the Eco Team gives children a strong voice in making our school more sustainable.

The Eco Team works closely with staff to support and deliver our Climate Action Plan, which sets out how we aim to reduce our environmental impact, protect nature, and build pupils’ understanding of climate and sustainability. This includes leading initiatives such as energy-saving campaigns, recycling and waste reduction, gardening and biodiversity projects, and sharing important messages through assemblies, displays and events.

Eco Team members act as climate champions, encouraging others to make small changes that make a big difference, both in school and at home. Through their work, pupils develop leadership skills, teamwork and a strong sense of responsibility for the world around them.

Our Climate Action Plan (shown below) guides this work and helps ensure that sustainability is embedded in school life now and for the future.

School Council

At Amotherby Community Primary School, our School Council gives pupils a real voice in shaping school life. Made up of representatives from each class, the Council meets regularly to discuss ideas, share suggestions, and work on projects that make our school an even better place to learn and play. From improving playground facilities to organising events and promoting important causes, the School Council encourages leadership, responsibility, and teamwork, helping pupils develop skills that will last a lifetime.

Community Rangers 

Our Community Rangers at Amotherby School help pupils connect with the people around them and build strong links with our local community. Through projects, visits, and activities, Rangers learn about local life, contribute positively, and develop a sense of responsibility and care for others. They play an important role in helping our school be an active, friendly, and supportive part of the wider community.
