St James uses UNICEF’s Rights Respecting Schools, fundamental school principles and a two tier school council structure to help everyone get involved in student voice.

A great school council/student voice case study from an inspiring primary school in the West Midlands.Their Friday Forums help every child in the school to get involved in improving the school.
One of involver’s favourite schools tells us how student voice works for them. They run an amazing student voice conference every year, which helps them to include a lot of people and get a lot done. Great stuff!
A great student voice case study where learners are placed at the heart of the curriculum. Student voice focuses around the design team who help to design all aspects of the school.
A few ideas on ways you can liven up your school council meetings (or any other meetings) and ensure that everyone gets a say.
It’s the beginning of the school term. Loads of school council elections are taking place across the country, but many of them aren’t organised as well as they could be. Often this is perfectly understandable; running the election is sometimes thrust upon an unsuspecting teacher, so here’s a complication of the resources we’ve got to [...]
I was involved in a short debate on BBC WM’s breakfast show this Monday. I was put up against Nick Seaton from the Campaign for Real Education, who campaigns against progressive education. Have a listen and see what you think: As with any interview like this no one gets the time they want to put [...]
Modelling democracy is an incredibly important role of the school council, but it’s something that’s easy to get wrong. Are you trying to model values or structures?
5 short sessions that can be run in tutor/form time to introduce the whole school to what the school council is, why they should stand and how they should vote.
Another year, another amazing Student Voice Conference at Little Heath School in Reading. I thought I’d write a blog that reflected on what we saw and learnt last year. It’s split into two parts because I took LOADS of videos. So the ‘building blocks’ for success in Little Heath are still the same and still [...]
Here’s Alison’s second blog, about the amazing Student Voice Conference at Little Heath! I’ve got a few videos from the day too, which I’ll upload soon. It’s been an exciting couple of weeks! Wednesday 2nd February was our annual Student Voice Conference at Little Heath. If I’m being honest I can’t believe it is over [...]
Twitter’s an amazing resource for professional development for teachers. It’d be even better if students were on it talking about their school and education too. Here’s my idea.
A rundown on what we’ve been up to at the end of last year and beginning of this one and also some free stuff for you.
A short, practical session to help students look at the pros and cons of different ways of collecting views from across the school.
A recent piece Greg wrote for LSN’s magazine about why learner voice is important.
