Play Ambassadors are selected from pupils in Year 5 & 6 following an application and interview process.  The role of Play Ambassador is linked to the promotion of positive play at break and lunchtimes.  Play Ambassadors are responsible for leading a range of games and activities with all age ranges and play times.  Play Ambassadors are supported by the Play Leader.  The appointed pupils attend a weekly after school club where they learn new games and activities that they can then teach to the pupils in school.  They play an important role in ensuring play times are creative, fun and safe for everyone.  Play Ambassadors must commit to this role and the need to spend some of their play time delivering games and activities.  The Play Ambassadors work on a rota basis meaning they are not always on duty and can interact with their peers however, they must commit to the role and cannot ‘pick and choose’ what they do.  We seek pupils who are creative, enjoy leading activities and enjoy promoting positive play.  Appointed pupils will be supported by the Play Leader and are expected to attend the weekly after school club.  Appointed Ambassadors work closely with the School Council Reps in ensuring play times meet the needs and requirements of all pupils.
