At St. Bernadette’s Catholic Primary School, we believe that every member of our school community should have their opinions heard. This involves giving children the opportunity to share their thoughts and feelings relating to matters of school, as well as preparing them to take on and meet challenges they may encounter outside of school. At St. Bernadette’s, pupils are able to voice their opinions and be involved with school matters and events through the Pupil Voice.
What is the Pupil Voice?
The Pupil Voice is a group of elected pupils who are committed to making sure the opinions and views of all pupils at St. Bernadette’s are heard. The Pupil Voice is made up of two representatives from each class from Years 1 through 6, with the Year 5 and 6 representatives being involved with our Reception class. These individuals are selected through a whole class election process in the first term of school each year. They work alongside fellow pupils and staff to help make improvements to the school, lead special event and awareness days and promote an eco-friendly school life.
What do the Pupil Voice Representatives do?
The Pupil Voice Representatives (PVRs) meet on a Friday morning on a bi-weekly basis to discuss school matters and upcoming theme days and events. It is within the role of the PVRs to feedback to their class what has been discussed and to voice any opinions that there class has.
