Young Governors

text

Any pupil from (Year 2 – Year 6) can put themselves forward to be their class representative. After preparing and presenting a speech, the class then vote for who they would like to represent their class for the academic year.

Pupils at Whiteley know that this is their school and their thoughts and ideas matter and so we have both a Class Council and the Young Governors.  These are in place so that pupils have a voice and are involved in decisions about the school that affect them.  Through Class Council, all pupils can raise issues, share ideas and take part in discussions that involve all their classmates in reaching a democratic solution.  Wider issues that arise during Class Council are discussed further at Young Governors. This ensures that as many pupil voices as possible are heard. A member of our governing body attends each Young Governor meeting to hear their ideas, ask the children about their views on aspects the governors want to know about, and to take back to our full governing body the questions and concerns of the children.
