Student Voice

Student Voice at Kirkby High School

Students are at the heart of all we do at Kirkby High School, and one of the ways in which students are able to contribute to school life is through student voice.

Rationale

Student voice is planned out throughout the academic year to allow students the opportunity to feed back on key areas of our school. Through student voice, we aim to:

  • Provide students with clear opportunities through form time to provide their views on aspects of school life

  • Enable wider discussions to occur through the student parliament on key elements

  • Ensure that student voice compliments the curriculum provision for our students

  • Ensure that appropriate changes are implemented to ensure that students remain at the heart of school life

Student Parliament
