Pupil Voice

We have a Pupil Voice which celebrates our achievements such as our charity work and reminds us of who our school leaders are. We can also write some prayerful intentions for Mrs Whelan and Our Prayer Leaders share at assembly weekly.

Our prayer bags go home in each class weekly and we can share our prayers in these with the rest of the class. 

 CELEBRATIONS

Each week our teachers choose some work to celebrate our achievements or show the rest of our class how hard we have tried. Every term we also receive special certificates to award our attendance. There are also value awards from each class monthly to recognise children that have consistently demonstrated of one of our Catholic virtues.

 

Prayer Leaders

Each class has two prayer leaders voted for democratically at the beginning of the year. Our Prayer Leaders not only lead our prayers everyday but voice our opinions and pass on information about school life and upcoming events to us. Our Prayer Leaders represent us in masses, local events and Diocese celebrations.

PUPIL SURVEYS

We can talk to any adult at school if we have a worry, we even have a worry box in each classroom if we want to write them a note. Twice a year, we complete two surveys so the teachers know how we feel about school life. Our teachers will talk to us about anything that we are worried about.

In the general Pupil Survey, we are asked to read a number of statements which ask our opinions on life in school and if we feel safe.

In the RE questionnaire we take part in the questions are:
