At Whinhill we believe that children need to be active participants in their own education and to feel that their opinions will be heard within our school and the wider community. We seek ways to listen to the views of our pupils and involve them in decision-making, so that they are engaged as partners in the life of the school.

The opportunity for our pupils to share their opinions is a part of Whinhill school life and can happen in lots of ways. Learner Participation is embedded throughout the curriculum and by the use of a variety of pupil committees. We believe that our committees will enhance and develop positive pupil leadership skills and encourage a greater sense of responsibility throughout the school.
