Pupil Voice
Welcome to our newly elected Pupil Voice. The Pupil Voice team at St Josephs' Primary School are a team of dedicated, organised and proud children ranging from Year 1 to Year 6. The selection of the Pupil Voice children happens at the beginning of each academic year. Two children from each class in years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are elected from a range of nominees. The elected children run regular meetings in their classes. The team meet up regularly and the meetings are facilitated by Mrs Correa. We develop our school and ourselves by discussing ideas and making decisions, whilst respecting everyone’s views and opinions. We work together, ensuring our school is the best place it can be. We aim to make all pupils in our school feel happy and safe.
