PUPIL VOICE
Pupil Voice at Green Park
At Green Park School, we want to encourage students to know their experiences, opinions and ideas are valued in all aspects of school life. Student voice can feature in all aspects of our class work – from students participating within discussions with familiar adults to showing a response during the activity.
We gather students view on a range of different topics including:
-
Ideas and plans for their Activity Week in the summer term,
-
Applications for job interviews within school – e.g. phone recordings, admin support jobs
-
Feedback on off-site trips and visits
-
Views, opinions and wishes for the future at annual review meetings
-
Whole school competitions including the annual Christmas Tree Competition
-
Votes for favourite lunchtime clubs
-
Career options

Following on from the pupil survey, leaders were able to adapt plans and support for pupils:
