Pupil Voice
Overall, Hattie argues that teachers need to seek feedback on their practice from both students and colleagues. They also need to help students become their own teachers.
Professor John Hattie’s eureka moment …
A school council is a group of pupils elected by their fellow pupils to represent their opinions and raise issues with your executive headteacher/ heads of schools and governors in the school. The school council can also take forward projects on behalf of the pupils, and be involved in planning and things like the School Development Plan, governing body meetings and interviewing staff.
To be effective, the school council must:
- Represent all pupils and include as many people as possible
- Take time to listen to all pupils and communicate their views
- Feed back to pupils about what happened about their views
- Make things happen – or explain why they can’t!
Top tips for an Effective School Council
Make sure that:
- elections are fair and open
- everyone is represented (e.g. through co-options)
- there are different ways for people to give their views (e.g. class time, suggestion boxes, questionnaires, focus groups…)
- training is in place
- there is effective communication so that people know what happens to their suggestions and ideas
- you see results!
Wroughton Infant School Councils
This term each class have voted for 3 new committees in school. Below is an explanation about the committees expectation and the children who have been nominated and voted in to do this role.
Each council will meet termly to share ideas and action their ideas. The Eco Council have already held their first meeting and have decided on two actions. Designing posters to put up next to taps and light switches saying turn off the lights/save water. They would also like to improve the playground by providing more bins and to introduce litter pickers so that the playground can stay clean and tidy. Two great ideas. Well done Eco Council!
