At Christ Church Primary School, we hold great value in our children’s voice. We believe that it is really important to gain their views and opinions about our school and their learning.
Staff in school frequently spend time discussing learning with our children; what they have enjoyed, what they have learnt and what the adults in school can do going forward to continue to support their learning and progress. By carrying out children voice, we know that our children love attending Christ Church:
‘Pupils say they are happy at school and love their learning. When asked what they like about the school, they say, ‘Everything!’ Ofsted 2022.
With the help of our children’s thoughts and opinions, we can continue to ensure that Christ Church is the best place it can be for all who attend.
