Student Voice

Children, parents and staff have many opportunities for their voices to be heard. Democracy is central to how we operate e.g. election of school council, worship committee and road safety officers, reflecting very much the British electoral system.

Pupils are always listened to by adults and are taught to listen carefully and with concern to each other, respecting the right of every individual to have their opinions and voices heard. 

Parental opinions are also encouraged through our regular surveys. We also have an “open door” policy to parents/carers to ensure that all stakeholders feel confident in approaching us should they have any issues.

Democracy is also taught through our curriculum eg: Greeks and Romans.
