At Summerville Primary School, we actively engage pupils in the life of the school, so that they have a voice and a role to play in its development. These roles can give children influence and an increased choice over the provision we offer. It also helps empower them, giving a sense of self efficacy, which in turn raises self-esteem. This is important for all children.
Pupil participation is one of the ways our school promotes the values of tolerance of others, mutual respect and enables children to begin to explore democracy, the rule of law and individual liberty enabling them to become active responsible citizens.
