Bishop Challoner Catholic School has established a strong tradition of Student Voice as a powerful means of ongoing reflection, negotiation, and improvement for the whole community. This takes many forms which we feels empowers the student body. Student Voice promotes the idea of collaboration between students and staff to build a cohesive community.

One representatives from each tutor group make up the Student Voice panel, the Year 11 Student Voice representatives are House Leaders.

The main roles of the Student Voice panel are to:

  • Raise and respond to items raised.
  • Collect the voices and opinions of the school community.
  • Feedback decisions and action points to their tutor groups.
  • Represent the school when meeting visitors to the school.
  • Supporting the Senior Leadership Team by playing a role in the recruitment of new staff.

At Bishop Challoner we are keen to provide the Student Voice body with support and training in their role. To assist in this we have previously welcomed advocates from the SUN. The Head Boy and Girl, their Deputies and House Leaders help organise, plan and run Student Voice.

Examples of activities that the student voice representatives have been involved in include:

  • Looking at learning journeys for curriculum areas and giving feedback
  • Feedback on the provision and delivery of life lessons.
  • Sharing views around the provision of Careers.
  • Considering the daily experiences of the school community and constructing positive feedback and actions.
