It’s more important than ever for young people to be a central part of our democracy and debate. We believe that every young person’s voice should be heard. Because everyone’s voice is important.

We have an active Pupil Leadership team to ensure that ‘The Children’s Voice’ is represented in school policies and practices. Each meeting our Pupil Leader representatives (democratically voted for at the beginning of each school year in Class Elections) lead their class through a meeting where a question has been posed to them.  In groups, pupils debate and come to a decision on what their answer is to be.  The School Council Representative makes sure things run smoothly and everyone respects all viewpoints. 

Our year six members take on the roles of chairperson and secretary following applications and presentations for the Head, Deputy and Prefect roles. All pupils then six pupils to lead the PLT. Please scroll down to the documents below to see what we have been up to.
