A Complete Guide to Student Participation in Schools

Future requirements of the National Healthy School Standards, Every Child Matters, the Ofsted Framework and Pupil Participation Guidance all emphasise the need for young people to be more involved in school life.



This book provides a unique user's guide for all those interested in developing this aspect of school life. It covers student participation in:


- supporting their own learning


- supporting emotional health and wellbeing


- supporting the student voice


- encouraging student participation


- participation of students with special needs.





Each section contains a description of the types of student participation, with the voices of experience:


- the written voice


- the voice of practitioners


- the voice of the student.





Each sub-section also has links to other resources and websites. This is a wonderful resource for those wanting to explore and develop student participation.
