Votes for schools

Votes for Schools is a new initiative we started this School year September 2019.

It involves the children being asked a question which relates to the current times. Through discussions, videos and activities the children vote “yes” or "no" to the question.

 

It is an effective tool for delivering SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social, and Cultural) development and supports British Values, Prevent, PSHE and Citizenship through whole class discussion.

A weekly vote pack in Powerpoint format is presented to the children each week. Children discuss the materials and vote, and the results  are compared with how other children have voted across the country.

 

The  results of our votes can be found in the links below.
