School councils are definitely not the only way to approach student voice – there’s a wide range of brilliant ways for students to influence what their education looks like.
Schools have a good idea of what students should know, and why they need to know it, but students can play an important part in deciding the when and the how.
Lesson observations, students as researchers, events, teacher appointments, students as governors – we’re here to help guide schools to manage these a professional and planned (but also fun!) way. And to make sure that student voice doesn’t just ‘tinker around the edges’ of school life, and avoids tokenism. Here’s how we can help…

Hi Jael,
We’re still waiting on the Office of the Children’s Commissioner to publish the case studies. We’ve written to them again recently to get a date for this. We’ll put them up on the website as soon as we are given the go ahead.

Just a quick update to this Jael, we’re going to be putting the case studies up on our site now – one a day for the next 16 days. The first one is here:

Hope that helps!
