Our Ambassadors at NPPS
Our Year 6 trained peer mentors are here to support children on the playground. They focus on the right to be safe and to be heard. They have been trained to actively listen and motivate and encourage children to find their own solutions to problems that they may encounter on the playground. Look out for them wearing their red bands - they are here to help and support!

Rights Respecting Ambassadors
Our ambassadors were invited to apply for their position and have been elected by their peers through a democratic voting process.
The Ambassadors are elected to be promoters of pupil voice; their job is to help ensure that Newbury Park is a safe and happy place for all to learn in. They are also champions of rights and they ensure that the rights are promoted and discussed in their classes.
Newbury Park Primary School’s Rights Respecting Ambassadors are an example of the Fundamental British Value of Democracy in action and of our school’s commitment to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 12 of which states: Every child has the right to express their views, feelings and wishes in all matters affecting them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously.
