Student voice at Beachamp College includes student governors, a student ambassador, a student-led inspection, students appointing staff, student-led research and clubs and societies led by students. This case study explains why they do all of this.

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.
Trying to create a short and simple but comprehensive policy for how school and class councils should work in a primary school.
The excellent Pathways Through Participation project has just published its final reports. They’re really worth a read for anyone looking to improve participation in schools. Whilst their focus was on adults – what gets them in to active citizenship, what keeps them involved – the lessons they’ve drawn from it hold true for young people too.
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 [...]
A few reflections on starting up our social enterprise. Not to suggest that we’ve had world-beating success or anything, but we’ve learned a few important things whilst building up this organisation round a set of ideas.
We’ve found some great resources for you, created a student voice audit tool and been doing some thinking about why democracy in schools is so important.
How do you prove your school’s listening ethos?
Can you measure your school’s ethos?
Changing how you run your finances might be the answer.
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.
Sustainable desks
Dec 18
So, I’ve just been in to Shoreditch to sign the contract for our new office space, well desks in an office. We’re going to be based at Sustain (www.wearesustain.com) which is an eco office space. We’re very happy about that as it fits in with the way we want to work. If I’m honest we’re [...]
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.
Should we run a school?
Sep 16
Charities can now sponsor academies. So would it be a good idea for a consortium of pupil voice charities to do so and centre it around democracy and citizenship?
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.
Hello all, If you’re a teacher, we’d love to get your views on the type of pupil voice support you need in your school. Click the link below, it should just take a couple of minutes: http://involver.org.uk/staffsurvey1 We’re in the process of creating one for young people, will blog when it’s up. Asher’s also been [...]
Taglines!
Sep 2
So today we’ve been thinking about taglines for involver.
Up until now, we’ve gone with ‘engage, impact, enjoy’, which I think is good, but most people have said that it doesn’t actually say what we do. Fair point, so we’re having a bit of a rethink….
Getting the image right

I’ve been making a few temporary logos – what do you think?
British Library Business
Aug 11
Yesterday our ‘mobile office’ moved from Wood Green Library Business Lounge to the British Library: Lovely place to work – good atmosphere and lots of power points to hook up my nearly dead laptop. Roaming offices have their drawbacks though = paying for coffee. I reckon we could sneak a small kettle in next time. [...]
First post!
Aug 9
First post from me – hi all! Weekend activities: Asher and I spent yesterday’s amazing hot Saturday afternoon in my garden working on our business plan. Was pretty good, but I realised that not having written anything for a month and a bit, I’ve completely forgotten how to write well. Some would say I never [...]
Greg’s coming over in a bit, so I thought it would be useful to get my thoughts down about what we need to get done. Then I thought, “and why not put them on the blog?” It puts a bit of pressure on us to actually get things done. I’d suggest this is an excellent [...]
Getting things started
Aug 5
So, we’re into week 2 of this involver experiment. I’m feeling a little more confident about saying what we’re going to be doing now – and about letting people know what happened to School Councils UK (SCUK). It’s now set who the team is going to be. It’s me and Greg, a great former colleague [...]
