Our Pupil  Leadership group meet regularly throughout the year to talk about things they feel are important to them and would benefit the school. This year we are going to look at our school rationale and vision. One of the things we will look at is recognising achievements in and out of school.

Currently, children are mostly interested in having a fundraising event to help raise money for playground games.

They feel that the main thing they need at the moment is additional balls for the scoops etc. as many have gone missing. They would also like to top up some of the games if more money was to become available.

Another playground issue that they felt needed reinforced was the use of the ‘Quiet Area’ – ensuring this is calm and peaceful when others would like some alone time or time to read.

• 12 Respect the views of the child.

• Use knowledge and experience to achieve goals set within our committee.
