Encouraging and engaging with pupil voice is a key part of what we do at Hayeswood. As well as numerous 'monitor' roles throughout the school that allow children to take on additional responsibilities, below are two of the main roles that promote pupil voice.

School Council

We have a very active School Council at Hayeswood First School.

School Councillors are elected by their class peers once a year. There are three representatives from each year group. 

The School Council meet at least twice a month to:

• Enable all children in the school to have a voice and to be listened to and taken seriously;
• Improve all aspects of life at Hayeswood First School for all members of the school community;
• Help children understand that good citizenship requires active participation from all members of the community. This is a lesson for life, not just for school!

Eco-Committee

The Eco Committee at Hayeswood First School is committed to making a positive impact on our environment and promoting sustainability across our school. Through student-led initiatives such as recycling programs, energy-saving campaigns, and local litter picks in the community, the committee encourages everyone to take responsibility for the planet. We work together to raise awareness about environmental issues, improve waste management, and foster a culture of sustainability both in the classroom and beyond. Our goal is to inspire students, staff, and families to make eco-friendly choices and contribute to a greener, healthier future for all.
