Pupil Voice

At St Winefride’s Catholic Voluntary Academy, pupils’ opinions and ideas matter. We believe that pupils should have the opportunity to share their ideas. We do this in a number of ways:

  • The School Council
  • The Chaplaincy Team
  • The Eco Club
  • Pupils have the opportunity to take on leadership roles such as head girl and head boy; house captains; play leaders; as well as opportunities with each class
  • Pupils have regular opportunities to discuss issues that may arise through activities such as circle time
  • The curriculum offers opportunities for pupils to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding when using their pupil voice
  • We also use questionnaires and pupil voice interviews linked to different areas
  • Pupils having a great idea and sharing it with staff
