This is a question that I am sure many schools struggle with, and I’d be lying if I said Little Heath hadn’t faced this problem over the years as well. The answer to this question can be the key to success in student voice. It might be that the attendance at your school council is [...]
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 [...]
Alison is employed as a Student Voice Assistant at Little Heath School in her gap year. This is her first post of a regular series about what it’s like to be a Student Voice Assistant and what is happening with Student Voice at Little Heath.
Lots of schools are beginning to think about training their school council, or student voice groups, for next academic year.
If you want to make your student voice READY, then get in touch! You can read more about our training here.
Hope you’re all doing well and enjoying the sun and World Cup. We’ve created some new resources and found a few things that you and your schools might find useful, so here they are …
Solutions to a number of common school council problems including giving feedback, support from colleagues and meetings that have gone flat.
Great ideas for school council projects and ways in which student voice is being used in schools across the UK.
I’m a little bit excited today, well actually I have been all week, because tomorrow we’re off to a very swanky awards ceremony at the Hilton in Park Lane, where Greg has won an award! So, we’ve both bought our outfits and arranged a very select group of colleagues and friends to join us (sorry [...]
We’re starting up a friendly, monthly five-aside game in Old Street for anyone working in the youth and citizenship fields:
bit of fun, bit of sweat, bit of networking
A session from training I ran at the Albion High School in Salford on how to create a communication plan that will get more people involved with your school council.
Slovakian adventure!
Oct 6
I’m back in London, via Vienna, after an amazing time in Kosice, Slovakia. It was a very inspiring and interesting three days.
Great to hear about the challenges, successes and stories of people in other countries who are broadly trying to do the same things as us in the UK. Great to meet so many motivated, passionate young people. Great to visit Slovakia for the first time – it is a beautiful country!
Slovakia Day 1
Oct 1
In the UK, the idea behind student voice is pretty much considered a good one (just not a lot of people do it well), whereas in Slovakia the whole idea of genuine representative democracy is much newer, and far less popular.
We’re approaching the end of the pupil voice research we’ve been carrying out for the DCSF and SSAT.
We’ve also been invited to a student voice event in Slovakia.
