Listening to Children’s Voice at Longhill Primary School
The children’s voice is extremely powerful at our school and the children know that their ideas and views are listened to and acted upon.
The children’s voice can be heard in two significant ways:
Head Pupils
At Longhill Primary we have Head Pupils. It is the job of these children to lead by example and help ensure the behaviours and attitudes of all the children in school are outstanding.
The children meet with Mrs Pearce on a regular basis to discuss any ways to make the school even better.
School Council 2023-24
The School Council are elected by the whole school in a formal ballet boxed vote each September. The job of the School Council is to collect the views of the whole school population and discuss ways forward in their meetings.
