Pupil Voice and Leadership
"Pupils have many opportunities to develop as well-rounded individuals. Outdoor activities develop their resilience, teamwork and initiative. They learn about democracy, diversity, tolerance and healthy relationships through the curriculum and in assemblies. Pupils can become members of the school parliament or be appointed as pupil leaders. They can develop their talent and interests in sports, art or music at after-school clubs."

Head Girl and Head Boy
At Himbleton, children in Year 6 have the opportunity to put themselves forward for the positions of Head Girl and Head Boy through a formal application process, followed by an interview. The two children elected represent the school at both informal and formal events in and outside of school, as well as supporting events, contributing to collective worship and supporting the Headteacher in the day-to-day running of the school.
House Captains
Children at Himbleton are placed in one of three houses when they join the school; Ash, Elm and Oak. Each house has two House Captains chosen from the Year 6 cohort who represent their houses, supporting younger children at inter-house events, leading house-based activities and collecting the much-coveted weekly House Cup, awarded to the House with the most Dojo points.
