Over the last couple of months I have been listening to the children, encouraging pupil voice and generating our Unicef Pupil Questionnaire. It has been delightful to speak to so many children (at a safe distance) and hear how much they like school and how well they are getting on.
The results of our questionnaire for KS1 are as follows:
UNICEF KS1 PUPIL VOICE 2021 Context: Completed May 2021.
42 responses (23% of cohort) Random sample across the year group.
– 98% learn about rights at school
– 86% enjoy being at school 98% feel safe at school
– 93% like the way they are treated by adults at school
– 76% think the children in my class are kind and helpful
– 95% said they know who to tell if they don’t feel safe at school
– 88% said they felt their teachers listened to them
– 81% said my school listens to my ideas for how to do things better
– 88% said I know what I need to do to make progress in class
– 88% said I can do things to help others around the world
Comments included:
“We are the kindest children, we help people we help others with their learning and work”
“We can stop children from fighting and can help them if they are frightened”
“We are kind in school”
“Rights are very important. I have a right to help other people if they don’t have any money.”
“I have the right to help people when they get hurt.”
“I have a right to have mum and dad, to play, to have family and friends, rights are something that you have.”
“I have the right to play with my friends, to do my work; rights are what we do in school. I have the right to keep safe, to be listen to, to be kind to others.”
