Pupil Voice

ARPA 63

 

 

At Atkinson Road, we feel it is important to listen to our pupils and the value their opinions. The voice of the children is crucial in shaping our school and curriculum. We strive to give all children lots of opportunities to their thoughts and opinions and play an active role in the decisions that affect their learning and well-being.

We believe that everyone’s voice should be heard. So, we provide important opportunities for our pupils to share their views. Throughout the school we use questionnaires and discuss issues in class but we also offer lunchtime and after-school activities which help out children to be more confident, work collaboratively and develop leadership and team skills. These groups include class Student Councillors, Eco-Warriors, Science Ambassadors and Art Councillors. These are elected representatives from each class who meet regularly to discuss issues. We have four Year 6 House Captains and two deputies. The House Captains act as strong role models for the younger children, demonstrating exceptional behaviour and positive attitude.
