Pupil Voice at Sunnyhill Primary School

Learn to lead School Sunnyhill Primary School have the children at the centre of what they do and provide.

“We actively encourage them to be involved in the development of the school, to make their voices heard. We are committed to ensuring that children’s views are not just listened to but acted upon. Our aim is to ensure that pupils have regular opportunities to feedback to staff on areas of their learning and learning environment.”

Children have access to a pupil suggestion box which is monitored by the School Council and then relayed to the senior team. In the last academic year children asked for changes to be made to improve the school lunches, they asked for more play equipment at lunchtime and more afterschool clubs and all of these concerns were addressed by our senior staff.

The Sunnyhill School Council team are an essential part of the School’s commitment to pupil voice. The team support the bridge between pupils’ and staff and are in the process of being developed as a pupil leadership team.
