Pupil Voice

At Styal Primary School we have an active School Council. The representatives for Key Stage 2 are elected by their class mates in an official ballot in the hall polling station. School council members are chosen after sharing speeches about their suitablility for the position.

Our school aims to promote the British Value of democracy. We demonstrate how democracy works by discussion, decision making and voting. We feel it is extremely important that children know that their views count and their opinions are important. 

The school council have worked on various topics including rewards and consequences and chosing new playground games. For the games, they asked Mrs Gaulton for a budget, voted on the most popular games then introduced them in assembly. 

Children's Voice on learning at Styal Primary School:

Maths

“Maths is good because we get to figure out the numbers ourselves.”

“We have teaching, then practice then our own actual maths. They are the same types of questions so we can get good at it.”

“We are learning about 10 more and 10 less. When we add 10 more the number goes down the 100 chart and becomes bigger. When it is 10 less, it goes up the 100 chart.”

“At the start of a lesson, our teacher explains what we have done before and what we are doing today.”
