Learners Voice
Learners have the opportunity to become members of their house council and the school council. These councils allow learners to have a say in decisions that affect their school lives. The councils provide a meaningful way in which pupils can voice their opinions and have their views taken into account in decisions which impact them.
Furthermore year 7 learners have the opportunity to be part of the year 6 / 7 transition council and all learners have the opportunity to become an Associate Learners Governor and represent the school council at Governor meetings.
Our school councils enable Ysgol Harri Tudur to provide leadership and development opportunities for our learners. Furthermore it helps teach our learners about democracy, local and global citizenship and accountability.
Learners in Ysgol Harri Tudur have the opportunity to become Learners Subject Leaders (LSL). The role involves LSL's gathering the views of their subject class on a key topic. The LSL's then meet with faculty leaders and discuss their class views on what works best and how can learning be improved.
Becoming a LSL enables learners voice and encourages learners to:
Develop their communication skills
Take on different roles
Introduce new ideas
Ask questions
Consider strengths and weaknesses of ideas
Build on and improve others ideas
Challenge the relevance of ideas
Summarise information for others
House Council
Learners are all allocated houses when they join Ysgol Harri Tudur. The purpose is to build a sense of community and belonging within the school, healthy competition and a place to celebrate our learners success.
Learners engage in half termly meetings with their head of house, to discuss school life, what they would like to see in the school community and any areas they feel need specific focus.
Learners Wellbeing Focus
Over the course of each half term we will focus several topics, including:
Sleep
Diet and Nutrition
Home life
Personal safely
Behaviour
Bullying
Mental health
Careers
Learners will complete an online evaluation to provide information and feedback on how these topics are affecting learners daily life.
