Northwold Primary School
At Northwold, we believe in consulting pupils on matters that affect them and involving them in school decision-making; this is known as Pupil Voice. Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) states:
Parties shall assure to the child who is capable of forming his or her own views the right to express those views freely in all matters affecting the child, the views of the child being given due weight in accordance with the age and maturity of the child.
We believe that giving pupils a voice:
• Encourages pupils to become active participants in a democratic society
• Contributes to achievement and attainment
There are a number of ways we ascertain the views of our pupils. These include questionnaires, Year 6 exit polls and through a range of pupil groups. At Northwold we have a number of pupil groups (Playground Advocates, Eco Warriors, Learning Council and school Council) responsible for representing the opinions and views of children on a variety of things that affect our school community.
Northwold Primary School is operated by Arbor Academy Trust, a charitable company limited by guarantee and registered in England and Wales with company number 10234376. The registered office is at Arbor Academy Trust, Davies Lane primary school, Davies Lane, Leytonstone E11 3DR
