School Student Leadership
Here at Stamford Park Primary School, we believe that empowering our pupils with responsibility will prepare them for the world they will face when they leave us. Therefore, we aim to create a multitude of possibilities for children to showcase their leadership skills across a wide range of areas.
Our school leadership teams:
