Children in Key Stage 2 have the opportunity to represent a range of areas as ambassadors. Ambassadors are appointed for all subject areas, and other areas of school life such as attendance, outdoor learning and road safety. Once appointed, subject ambassadors work alongside the staff subject leader to monitor the subject and participate in pupil conferencing.

• Encourage a love of maths across all year groups
• Celebrate achievements and share examples of excellent learning
• Lead on competitions and introduce exciting new ideas
• Represent maths in assemblies and special events
• Provide a pupil voice—sharing thoughts, feedback, and ideas
• Model strong problem-solving skills and resilience in lessons
• Demonstrate excellent mental maths and set a high standard for their peers
• Meet regularly with the Maths Lead to reflect and contribute to whole-school improvements
• Monitor maths resources, keeping equipment organised and accessible
• Support staff with pupil conferencing and book looks

As History Ambassadors, they champion a passion for the past throughout the school by celebrating pupil achievements and introducing fresh, creative ideas to elevate our understanding of history. They raise the subject’s profile by delivering inspiring presentations in assemblies and actively giving pupils a voice, encouraging them to share their historical insights and questions. Demonstrating exemplary historian behaviour, they serve as role models, showcasing best practice in historical inquiry and critical thinking. Meetings with the history lead every half-term allow them to collaborate on strategies that deepen engagement and foster a shared love of history. They assist in evaluating learning through book looks and pupil conferencing and regularly highlight excellent historical work to showcase achievement and inspire peers. Drawing on effective ambassador practices- such as leadership, communication and cultural promotion- they play a key role in promoting historical awareness and enthusiasm across the school.

As art ambassadors, it is our job to lead pupil conferencing and ask children from each year group questions about their learning and their opinion about art at Abbey Hey. We also look at sketchbooks and complete a checklist to ensure that each unit has all the elements it needs.

Leading assemblies are another part of our role. When we do these, we explain share our work and experience as art ambassadors. At the curriculum open evening each year, we promote art to our wider Abbey Hey family. 

As a Computing Ambassador, it is our job to help promote the use of technology across the school and support others in developing their computing skills. Each half term, we help to check and maintain our school’s computing resources, such as laptops and iPad's, to make sure they are ready for everyone to use during lessons.

Part of our role as Computing Ambassador is to lead assemblies where we can share exciting computing projects and raise awareness about Computing. We also take part in pupil subject leader conferencing meetings on Fridays, where we ask other year groups about what they have been learning and what they enjoy most about computing.

As Conscious Discipline Ambassadors, we help other children understand how their brains work, especially when they’re feeling upset, stressed, or calm. We teach about the three brain states:

• Survival State (when we feel unsafe or scared),
• Emotional State (when we feel big emotions like anger or sadness), and
• Executive State (when we are calm, thinking clearly, and ready to solve problems).

Our job is to share tools and strategies that help students move from the Survival or Emotional State into the Executive State where they can learn and connect with others.

We are also learning and teaching new breathing exercises and ways to build positive connections with others. We help make sure that everyone’s morning meetings are going well, because those meetings help us start the day with kindness and focus.

Another important part of our role is helping to introduce the Time Machine during break times. This is a special tool that helps children solve problems together when they are calm and ready so we can build a school full of respect, understanding, and strong friendships.

As Attendance Ambassadors, our job is to help everyone understand why coming to school every day is so important. Good attendance helps us learn more, stay on track, and be part of all the exciting things happening at school.

We meet regularly to talk about ways we can improve attendance and make school a place everyone wants to be. One of our responsibilities is to find out about fun and exciting events happening across the school and then share them during our assemblies to keep everyone informed and excited!

We also help to celebrate good attendance in weekly assemblies. 

As Pathfinder Ambassadors, our job is to help staff and other children understand how to use different apps and accessibility features on iPads to support learning in the classroom, especially for reading and writing.

We’ve been using our iPads to support our own learning for the past year, and now we’re really excited to share what we’ve learned with others! From helpful tools like text-to-speech and speech-to-text, to apps that help with focus, organisation, and creativity and we’re here to guide others in using technology to become more independent, confident learners.

Whether it’s helping during lessons or supporting one-on-one, we’re proud to be part of a team that’s making learning more accessible for everyone.
