At Rooks Heath we value our learners as invested members of the school community. Our Student Voice structure aims to provide opportunities, via participation or representation, for their ideas and opinions to be heard and, where appropriate, considered by the leadership team when decisions are made.

In order to promote long term democratic engagement, and encourage active citizenship, our Student Voice structure allows for highly visible consultation that leads to tangible outcomes.

The aims of our Student Voice programme include:
•    sending a powerful message that young people of all ages are citizens too
•    recognising young people as major stakeholders in society with important contributions to make to their community
•    helping every child to fulfil their potential
•    establishing a more inclusive environment
•    improving behaviour, attendance and engagement in learning
•    facilitating students growth and development outside the formal curriculum
•    highlighting to young people how they can act as positive role models
•    helping young people prepare for the world of work
