Our TED Teams (Together Everyone Decides)
TED teams at Hardwick Primary School and Nursery
What are our TED Teams and how do they support our children to grow, learn, find their passions and feel part of our incredible community here at Hardwick?
TED stands for ‘Together Everyone Decides’ it means when children are involved in something they are passionate about and support others in that passion, we work together to build a brighter, inclusive world at Hardwick where everyone’s voices feel heard. Our teams work on events, interventions and personal goals. They also host assemblies, known as 'TED Talks' to share their learning with others and contribute to whole school development.
What are the TED Teams?
Our TED Teams are currently:
| TED Team | Who can join? | Who leads the team? |
|
| Anyone in Years 5/6 who have a passion for sports are chosen to be Sports Leaders.
Sports Leaders support our inter house competitions, sporting events and sports days – getting everyone involved! | This team is run by Mr Simmons |
|
| Anyone in Years 5/6 who have a passion for sports and are kind and helpful to others are chosen to be Play Leaders.
Play Leaders set out games each break time for younger children and encourage all children to join in with them – having fun and making new friends.

| Anyone in Years 5/6 who have a passion for reading and are excellent organisers are chosen to be library leaders.
Library leaders keep our library clean and organised, they suggest new books for the library and look after our Voxblock Audio Books. Library leaders promote a love of reading across the school. | This team is run by Mr Woodward |

| Anyone can be a School Ambassador. School Ambassadors have a special job at Hardwick. They welcome visitors to the school, support with interviewing potential staff members who wish to join Hardwick and help out at whole school events. Our School Ambassadors are beacons of the school and those who model all our school behaviours to others. | This team is run by Mrs Taylor |

| Children in Year 4 and 5 are chosen to be Anti-Bullying Ambassadors. These children attend training with Oxfordshire Council each year in how to spot signs of bullying and get help from an adult to intervene quickly. They learn how to spread kindness and joy and are important on our playgrounds at break and lunch time; being a kind friend to all. | This team is run by Miss Atherton |

| Children in Years 3,4,5 and 6 are invited to join our choir. Our choir proudly perform at events including the Rotary Club ‘Children Singing for Children’ annual performance in Banbury which works to raise money for Schools in Africa. | This team is run by Miss Atherton |

| Anyone who has a passion for the outdoors and caring for our environment is able to become an Eco Champion. Eco Champions work on a term project earning a Wild Life Warrior badge and certificate from the RSPB. They keep our school clean, tidy and a haven for natural wildlife. They keep our bird feeders topped up and take part in the annual big bird watch. | This team is run by …. |

| Anyone is welcome to become an Art Champion. Art Champions who are also in Year 5 and 6 work towards gaining their Arts Award Explore from Trinity College London.
Our Arts Champions take part in collaborative, artistic projects around the school to reflect how proud we are of the building we share. | This team is run by Miss Atherton |
