Student Voice
In developing Student Voice, students are encouraged to know that their experiences, opinions and ideas are valued in all aspects of school life. Small focus groups of students engage with students and teachers about their experiences in the classroom. These include questionnaires, conversations and focus group discussions about student experiences inside and outside of the classroom. This gives students more ownership of their learning and builds their confidence as they ‘develop a voice’. The work on the development of Student voice within the school enriches the quality of teaching and learning.
