Pupil Voice

In both our schools, we have pupil groups who work with their class and the staff to make our schools even better. Children have to stand for election if they would like to have a particular responsibility. This is a good way to learn about democracy in action - this supports our work on British values. 

School Council - Infant & Junior Schools

At the start of each academic year, each class holds a class election to determine the school council member who will represent their class at school council meetings.  

Children who put themselves forward for this role prepare a short speech which they present to their class. Each class then votes and a school council member is elected.  

Once elected, school council members attend regular meetings. After speaking with their classes, an agenda is agreed within these meetings for the half-term or term.  School council members then discuss these ideas and in the past have written letters to the Head teacher or lunchtime staff with their ideas.

Planet Protectors (Infant School) & Eco Warriors (Junior School)

We have representatives from each class that enjoy working to save the environment.  One of our main aims is to remind others within school to try to save energy. 

We check which classes have remembered

• to turn out lights and screens at break times

• to close the outside doors to keep the heat in (during cooler months) at playtimes

• to only put recycling in the right bins 

• to turn off taps in the classrooms so they don't drip

The winning class are announced each week.

We also set up recycling schemes, such as crisp packet recycling, which aren’t currently able to be recycled in the general recycling.  

To become an Eco Warrior or Planet Protector, children nominate themselves and present a manifesto to their class. The children then vote in a democratic way. Each class is then represented by their Eco Warrior or Planet Protector. 

Value Leaders - Infant School

This year at the Infants we have chosen 12 children to become our first ever ‘Value Leaders’.  These leaders have the very special job of promoting our six new values in all aspects of school life, whether this be in assembly, the classroom, the playground or at lunchtime.
