Welcome to our School V.I.P (Voice in Pupil) section.
Pupil Voice is a real strength in our school: last year our School Council and Rights Respecting Ambassadors decided that they should be a combined group. They renamed themselves V.I.Ps (Voice in Pupils).
What We Do
Our School V.I.P students meet with Mrs Gill regularly to discuss ideas and improvements to our school and local environment. (We have a right to give our opinion and ask adults to listen and take it seriously – Article 12)
Our aim is to make school an even better place for everyone!
- We raise money for good causes
- We meet visitors to our school
- We make sure the pupils in our school have a voice
- We help to make decisions
- We support the development of British Values in our school
- We get things DONE!

At the beginning of the year, each class elected their new V.I.P. representatives.
Year 2 – Sam E and Elena W
