Over to Corby in Northamptonshire for another great school in our amazing school council and student voice case studies!
On Friday 11 November, Tottenham-based, social enterprise, involver, will be taken over by pupils from Welbourne Primary School. Four pupils will be made Directors of involver for a day, running the organisation and deciding on its future strategy.
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 [...]
Hello everyone, Welcome back to school. Hope you all had a fun summer! To give you a quick idea of what we’ve been up to….. In between lovely holidays to Loch Ness, Aberdeen, Rugby and France, we’ve been doing lots of work on the Smart School Council Community, a charity we’re setting up and supporting. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
We’re a new (non-partisan) social enterprise trying to find our way in what seems like a very Big Society. Here’s some thoughts on our experience: Outlook The Big Society separates the third sector ‘moaners’ from the third sector optimists. It’s divided those who look back fondly on higher spending of the Labour government (who can’t quite come [...]
If you’re on Linked in (or is it Linkedin?), and you’re interested in school councils and student voice, then we’ve just set up a new group to connect people.
If you’re on there, and want to join, then visit http://lnkd.in/mpSBk8, or search for Student Voice and School Councils Education Network.
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 …
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
Jun 28
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 [...]
School Councils were featured as being very important in a recent government commission
www.basingstokegazette.co.uk/news/4165789.MP_observes_school_elections/ I thought this was a nice little story and it’s interesting that the elected pupils only serve for 6 months so make sure that more people get a chance to be involved. Daisy

It talks a lot about pupils as observers, but pulls in everything really. Would be useful for ‘school councils in the news’ section. http://www.tes.co.uk/article.aspx?storycode=6007557 Asher
Ofsted have just produced a report on successful strategies for taking schools out of special measures, it contains some strong words about pupil participation: Pupils and students’ greater engagement in school life had a significant influence on improving outcomes in almost all of the schools surveyed. … Establishing and keeping high profile a school council, [...]
