Votes for Schools
The Votes for Schools programme is delivered weekly during our morning tutor time and provides all our young people with a better knowledge of current affairs, engaging them in topical debates and encouraging them to vote on certain issues.
Our students are encouraged to share ideas, articulate their views and challenge the opinions of others, leading to thought provoking debate about the world around us.
At the end of each session the students get to vote about the key issue addressed. Every vote is shared through the Votes for Schools platform with decision makers and votes are tallied and compared to other schools locally and nationally. We also share the results of our surveys with the wider school community, which then often informs our personal development curriculum planning.
Please find two powerpoints provided by "Votes for Schools" as exemplars of this initiative.
