At our school, we believe every child’s voice matters. Each year, we hold democratic elections to select our Pupil Voice Ambassadors, who represent their classmates as part of the school council. The process begins with a launch assembly and then candidates share their ideas and explain why they would make great ambassadors to their classes. This is followed by a whole-class election, giving pupils the opportunity to vote for their chosen representative.
Once elected, our Pupil Voice Ambassadors meet every fortnight to share ideas, raise issues, and develop plans to make our school an even better place to learn and grow. They play an active role in shaping school life and ensuring that the views of all pupils are heard.
Our Pupil Voice Ambassadors take on a wide range of responsibilities, including:
Attending BANES Pupil Parliament sessions.
Representing the school at key events.
Acting as buddies for new children joining the school.
Meeting and greeting visitors and giving tours.
Listening to and helping resolve issues raised by pupils.
Leading and contributing to school assemblies.
Working with the Senior Leadership Team to review policies.
Organising and running charity fundraising events.
Through these experiences, our ambassadors develop confidence, leadership and a strong sense of responsibility, while helping to make a positive difference to school life for everyone.
