Student governors

Our Head Boy & Head Girl 2025-26

It’s official!

Meet Uplands Infant & Nursery Schools Head Boy & Girs.

Head Boy – Hussain

Head Girl – Ismah

As Head Boy/Girl, the selected children will be expected to support the student governors in decision making and come up with new ideas to help improve our school. They will be role models for the school and they will be expected to show and help other children to follow the school rules.

Student Governors 2025-26

The Role of the Student Governors is to attend meetings once a month with Mrs Fojdar & Miss Talati to discuss ideas, concerns, and work on various projects throughout the year.

Student Governors can be identified because they will be wearing a labelled hoodie. Their photos will be displayed at the front of the school as well as posters around the school, so all children know who they are. 

2025 - 2026 Head Boy/Head Girl Speeches

Student Governors in Action

Our newly selected Student Governors worked together to write speeches and draft ideas for posters that share their roles and responsibilities. They discussed how they will help others follow school rules, listen to pupils’ voices, and contribute to making our school a positive and welcoming place for everyone.

The posters, which will be displayed around the school, was thoughtfully designed by the student governors.

Introducing Our Student Governors

Our Student Governors confidently led an assembly to introduce themselves to the children and teachers. They spoke clearly about their roles and shared how they will listen to pupils’ voices, help others follow school rules, and work together to make our school a positive and welcoming place for everyone.

The assembly was a wonderful opportunity for the children to show confidence, responsibility, and pride in representing their fellow classmates.

Student Governors Lead Improvements to Our OPAL Setting
Our Student Governors have been working brilliantly as a team to explore ways to make our OPAL setting even better for everyone. After sharing ideas, discussing challenges, and looking closely at how different areas are used, they focused on improving access for all children and strengthening our shared responsibility for looking after our play spaces.
One key action they agreed on was to design a new banner for the playground. This banner will be displayed outside as a friendly reminder about following our OPAL rules and keeping our areas tidy—two priorities the children themselves identified as needing extra attention across the school. Their thoughtful leadership is already making a positive difference, and we’re excited to see their ideas come to life.
World book day 5th March 2026
Our Student Governors spent a joyful World Book Day sharing stories with our Reception children, filling classrooms with excitement, imagination, and plenty of smiles. The older pupils read aloud some of their favourite books, helping to spark a love of reading in our youngest learners. It was a wonderful celebration of stories and a lovely example of our school community coming together.
Student Governors Review Our British Values Posters
Our Student Governors have once again shown fantastic leadership by reviewing the British Values posters used around school. Drawing on their knowledge, creativity, and understanding of how children access information, they carefully evaluated each poster to see whether it was clear, engaging, and accessible for everyone.
Working together, they made thoughtful recommendations for improvements—suggesting changes to layout, language, and visuals where needed. The school has taken their feedback on board, updated the designs, and the new posters are now proudly displayed throughout classrooms and shared spaces.
Their contributions have helped ensure that our British Values are communicated in a way that all pupils can understand and connect with, and we’re incredibly proud of their insight and teamwork.
Our New Playground Rules Banner Has Arrived!

Last term, as part of implementing the OPAL project, our Student Governors worked hard to design a bright and welcoming banner to help remind everyone of our school rules whilst playing in the playground. Their ideas were full of colour, positivity, and a real sense of what it means to be part of our school community.

The finished banner arrived and our Student Governors were the first to see it in place. Their faces lit up as they spotted their own designs brought to life, ready to be displayed proudly in the playground. They even decided to surprise Mrs Orton with the finished banner!

The photos capture this special moment and celebrate the teamwork, creativity, and responsibility shown by our Student Governors.
