This year, our school government is entering its second year, continuing to give pupils a voice in shaping our school community, in line with the British values of democracy and individual liberty. Pupil representatives from the Year 5 and 6 pupil voice groups meet with Mrs. Quinn-Briton and Mrs. Anderson every half term. During these meetings, pupils share the actions they have taken over the past year and discuss the positive impact these have had on the school, such as improving school events, enhancing pupil well-being, or supporting environmental initiatives. An elected Prime Minister leads the school government, providing pupils with ongoing opportunities to engage in democratic processes and see democracy in action.

This year, the school government is also reviewing progress from last year’s action plans and setting new goals to ensure continued improvement. These meetings emphasise the rule of law, helping pupils understand the importance of fairness and structure in decision-making. Pupils are encouraged to raise concerns and offer new ideas, ensuring all voices are heard, in line with the principles of mutual respect and tolerance. Being part of the school government allows pupils to continue developing leadership and communication skills, while contributing to the growth and development of their school community.
