Year 2 Leadership

Children naturally become more independent as they progress through school. During Year 2, we encourage them to develop their leadership skills within the school community.

Leadership Roles

On a half-termly basis, children can apply for one of the four leadership roles:

  • Cloakroom Monitor
  • Library Monitor 
  • Lunchtime Helper
  • Playground Buddy
Leadership lanyards and tabards

Children enjoy wearing their special uniforms to carry out their daily duties to help make Hillshott a kind and respectful school. Thank you to the Friends of Hillshott for funding our special lanyard and tabards.

Headteacher for the Day

Each year we hold our election for one of the Year 2 children to become Headteacher for the Day. Children write and present their manifestos before the rest of the school undertake the secret ballot. 

The successful candidate helps Mrs Peacock run the school for a day. They undertake important jobs such as greeting children at the school gates, writing letters to families and presenting at special assemblies.

Our 2025 candidates (L-R) Izzy and Nina from Kestrel Class, Jessica and David from Falcon Class.
