Pupil Voice

Champions Council - Pupil Leadership at Billing Brook

At Billing Brook, we are committed to empowering our pupils to use their voices and play an active role in shaping school life.  We believe that giving pupils meaningful opportunities to contribute, helps build confidence, strengthens self-esteem and supports their social and emotional development.  Every opinion is valued, and we encourage pupils to express their ideas while learning to listen to and respect others.

Our Champions Council provides a key platform for this.  Each phase elects one Champion, who demonstrates, promotes and embraces the schools Values of Be Kind, Be Curious and Belong. As well as supervising our Values reward scheme, these pupils also gather ideas, share feedback, and help influence decisions that make a real difference across the school.

The Champions Council support the planning of activities for charity and special events days, including choosing themes, visitors and experiences for everyone ot enjoy.  The Champions are proud to talk to visitors about the positive changes they've helped bring about, share key safeguarding messages around online safety, safeguarding principles and the ways they contine to make Billing Brook an even better place to learn and grow.

Listening to all pupils

We try to ensure that all pupils have their views listened to and often acted upon. What pupils have told us has impacted on many areas of the school life. For example we  have enhanced our lunchtime activities to include activities such as coding and basketball. Our Digital Leaders influence our choice of apps that we purchase for our ipads and laptops.
