All pupils from year 3 to 6 are in a pupil voice group. All groups meet every Wednesday from 2.30-2.50. In these sessions we devise action plans, discuss our priorities and plan for assemblies (which we lead on a rota every Thursday). We feel that we make a big impact and help to improve the school. Our motto is
"We have a voice, we have a choice"
At our school, we believe every pupil's voice matters. Our School Pupil Senedd is made up of dedicated and enthusiastic representatives from each class who have been elected by their peers. They meet regularly to share ideas, discuss important school matters, and help make decisions that improve school life for everyone. From planning events to supporting school evaluation, our Senedd members are true leaders—making a big difference in our school community!
