Pupil Voice
At Our Lady of the Annunciation Primary School, we believe that every child should have a voice and the opportunity to make a positive difference in our school community.
We are committed to developing children’s understanding of their rights, responsibilities and role in shaping school life. Through Pupil Voice, children have meaningful opportunities to share their ideas, take on leadership roles and contribute to real change and improvement across our school.
We are proud to have achieved our Silver Rights Respecting Schools Award in January 2025, recognising our work to embed children’s rights and the principles of the UNCRC throughout school life.
Pupil leadership also plays an important part in our digital journey, and in September 2026 we were delighted to achieve the Digital Schools Award, recognising our whole-school commitment to high-quality digital learning.
Our Pupil Voice Groups
Every child has opportunities to contribute to Pupil Voice through a range of whole-school leadership groups and class-based groups.
