Our school prefects are elected by the children and staff. They act as positive role models for all pupils in the school. They support the work of the Head Boy and Head Girl and their deputies.
They set an excellent example to others through role modelling our school values of Safety, Trust, Achieve, Respect and Support. They carry out a range of roles and responsibilities including representing the school at events and hosting visitors to the school.
We are very proud of our prefects as they play a key role in decision making in order to continue to develop and improve our school.
Our school is very proud of our active pupil voice, with representatives from Reception to Year Six forming our School Council. Class and School Council meetings are held on a weekly basis. The School Council then meet a senior member of staff to discuss issues and developments. They represent their peers and bring forward their views to improve the school and its grounds.
Our School Council are also involved in fundraising and each term nominate a charity to support. They also plan events to generate funds that are used to purchase equipment for the school that will enhance the learning environment.
Elections are held each year to elect class representatives.
Our class representatives for this academic year will be confirmed in due course.

Holden Lane Primary School continue to work hard to combat bullying behaviour and to celebrate that we are all unique and equally special in our school.
Mrs Reece is working on achieving bronze level ABQM (Anti-bullying Quality Mark) status for the school. This is a national award that challenges schools to demonstrate their effectiveness in promoting and managing anti-bullying. It endorses the belief that the safety, mental health and wellbeing of everyone are essential elements of learning, development and achievement.
It is our aim that all children are able to come to school without the fear of being bullied and that parents are confident that they know who to approach about bullying and that it is dealt with efficiently and effectively.
Bullying behavior is not accepted or tolerated at Holden Lane.
