Agents for Change and House Captains

At Great Kimble C of E School we promote Fundamental British Vales and teach the children about the 'Rule of Law'. One of the ways we do this is to hold democratic votes to appoint our Agents for Change and House Captains.

Agents for Change are a group created to ensure positive change in themselves, their community and the planet.

We meet weekly to discuss what we can do and take action.

We follow our toolkit of windows, mirrors and doors.

We consider what we need as individuals, what the community needs and the UN goals.

As a small school, we also take on roles which would usually be undertaken by school council, eco warriors and junior leadership teams.

Hawks: Freddie (captain) and Isla (vice)

Eagles: Michael (captain) and Samuel (vice)

Kites: Edith (captain) and Phoebe (vice)

Falcons: Luna (captain) and Ayla (vice)

The school Houses were introduced in September 2022 as we welcomed our first year 6 cohort to the the school. Pupils were chosen by their classmates to represent one of four Houses. The children, parents, staff and governors then put forward suggestions for House names, which were then voted on. With a landslide vote the Houses were then named after British birds.

The role of House and Vice House Captains are ones of privilege, pride and responsibility. They are more than just a title and badge and require dedication and commitment for an entire year.
