Pupil-Led School Improvement

Every school exists to do the best for the students they serve. But how often as leaders do we really engage our students in leading developments in our schools?

We often engage consultants to work with our staff and leaders to improve their performance and delivery but this offer is not about that…. it is about flipping the norm and instead of driving improvement through staff, it is about allowing the students to have a real voice and influence in the way we improve practice and maximise impact in our schools.

'Pupil Power' is inspired by the research and methods of Professor John Hattie who promotes and advocates the concept of students taking ownership of their own learning. Our team have used the method of working with students to improve whole school outcomes and to drive up standards in partner schools in the UK. We strongly believe that not enough emphasis is placed on gathering the views of students and providing them with the platform to improve their own school.

Our view is that students are always honest and know exactly what is really happening in a school. Their insight and ideas are often the most powerful way to impact on learning and improve outcomes. Our 'Pupil Power' review programme, developed at the request of school leaders, includes a student-led review of the school, staff training and a student action plan for future development.

Through a ‘Pupil Power’ review you will learn:

• What do your students really think?

• What is it like to be a learner in your school?

• What would your students change?

• What do they value?

• And so much more…
