Student Voice is now written into DCSF
guidance. It is a recognised part of school
inspections. It impacts on school development
plans. It is even deemed to deserve initial
capital letters. The attention given to students
views is seemingly greater now than it has ever
been before. It is perhaps ironic, then, that
most schools still rely on the most traditional
mechanism around for listening to students the
school council (DCSF)

The NASUWT is absolutely clear that pupils should
play an active, constructive and appropriate role
in their own learning, the learning of their
peers and in the development of their school
communities. Protecting and enhancing the right
of children and young people to be heard and
participate meaningfully in decisions that affect
their lives is a key duty of the state in a
democratic society and is, therefore, a
particularly important principle in the context
of the states responsibilities for ensuring
universal access to well funded high quality
education. (NASUWT 2011)
