Our pupils are the most important people in our school, and their views truly matter. We want every child to feel confident sharing their ideas, opinions and concerns, knowing that they will be listened to and respected. Whether through class discussions, pupil leadership roles, surveys, meetings or simply talking to a trusted adult, children have many opportunities to help shape life at Lawrence View.

Our Headteacher's door is always open, and we actively encourage children to share their thoughts and ideas.

At Lawrence View Primary School, we believe that every child has the right to be heard, valued and involved in shaping the life of our school. Pupil voice is embedded within our curriculum, enrichment programme, leadership opportunities and school improvement processes, ensuring that every child has meaningful opportunities to influence decisions and contribute to positive change. 

Our pupil voice model goes beyond consultation. Through daily classroom discussions, weekly "Every Voice Matters" questions, class councils, leadership teams, democratic elections, termly debates and regular meetings with senior leaders and governors, pupils develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to become active citizens and effective leaders.

The Lawrence View Parliament sits at the heart of our approach. Through a ministerial structure, pupils act as representatives for key areas of school life, gathering views from leadership teams and committees before presenting recommendations to Parliament, school leaders and governors. This ensures that pupil voice informs decision-making at every level and that children can see the impact of their contributions. [

We are committed to ensuring that every pupil, regardless of age, background or need, has opportunities to express their views, influence school improvement and help shape the future of Lawrence View. Through our motto of"Discuss, Debate, Vote, Decide, Act, Review, Improve," we empower children to understand that their voice matters and that they can make a genuine difference within their school, community and wider world
