Votes For Schools

Votes For Schools provides weekly resources to prompt discussion on a challenging current issue.

Children vote and comment and we ensure that their voices are heard and have an impact.

We have weekly assemblies and discussion sessions where children are allowed to share their thoughts and ideas around issues raised in the news and media.

This Week's Votes For Schools Sessions:

As we approach International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), let’s be motivated by Marissa Bode's historic casting in the Wicked film. As the first wheelchair user to play Nessarose, her success powerfully demonstrates the core principle of the Equality Act 2010—the Duty to Make Reasonable Adjustments.

All Year Groups - Do you think Disabled people’s stories are heard?
