Pupils shaping improvement and the school’s inclusive culture

Pupil leadership is a notable strength at Marshfield Primary School. Through the ‘Pupils as Leaders in School’(PALS) groups, all pupils in Years 4 to 6 take on meaningful responsibilities and contribute directly to school improvement. The wide range of groups enables pupils to influence decisions and lead initiatives linked to well-being, inclusion, sustainability and digital safety. Older pupils also mentor younger children effectively through buddy systems and mini-‘PALS’ activities, helping them to develop confidence in sharing their views. As a result of this work, pupils develop strong respect for others and a clear sense of their social responsibility as citizens of Wales. They play an important role in shaping the school’s inclusive culture.
