Westfield tells us about the importance of regular and inclusive class councils, driving the influential school council. As school council case studies go, it’s a good one!
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.
Here’s the first part of our findings from a brilliant research project that we worked on for the Children’s Commissioner. It’s all about best practice in student voice, and here’s a short ‘How to’ guide with as much advice as we could possibly fit onto two pages. Feel free to download and share. You can [...]
Nice, huh?
Hello from involver – newsletter number 9 Sorry there was no newsletter last month but we got a bit distracted by Asher’s wedding. We promise it won’t happen again (at least until Greg gets married). Resource: Get a politician in to your school This free resource from the Hansard Society shows you how to get [...]
Can the principles of running effective factories be applied to schools and actually create more creativity and enhance student voice? At Matthew Moss High School in Rochdale they think so.
So today is the last day to respond to the National Curriculum Review Consultation. involver’s primary interest in this is the threat to Citizenship. To this end we’ve been founding members of Democratic Life and I’ve just used their excellent form to submit a personal response to the consultation (we’re submitting an organisational one too).

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 [...]
One of the main issues that many school councils face is that they don’t include enough students. This often leaves the rest of the school pretty uninterested in what the school council are doing. In trying to overcome this, here’s Asher giving a few ideas for you on how to think about the traditional school [...]
Pupil interview panels make a huge statement about your school and have all kinds of benefits for staff and students. Rather than banning them as the NASUWT wants to, we suggest here how to do them well.
We aim to dispel some of the misconceptions that the NASUWT’s campaign to roll back student voice is based upon.
The reaction to the YCC's report will demonstrate the real political will to engage young people

The most telling question/statement at the launch of the Youth Citizenship Commission‘s final report came from a delegate representing the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER), he suggested something along the lines of, “Wouldn’t it be ironic if the Government’s response to this report is to do nothing? What would that tell young people about [...]

Interesting article in the Guardian today – discussing how damaging culturally it is for society to fear young people. It talks about the problems with automatically labelling young people in a negative way that I think much of what we do is trying to tackle: Link: Guardian article Also. I wonder if the 16 MPs [...]

Charles Leadbeater is doing lots of writing and talking about the future of education and learning int his country. He wrote a document, What’s Next? 21 Ideas for 21st Century Learning for the Innovation Unit summing up these views. If you’re interested in his vision, I’ve summarised the document below: Despite substantial investment in education, [...]

The Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills has published new guidance [...]
