Pupil Voice

At Ark Charter Academy, we believe that students have a wide range of opportunities to develop and practise leadership skills in preparation for life beyond school. Students and staff work together to identify and develop leadership potential, bringing benefits both to the student and the whole school environment.

Student leadership activities focus on improving the quality of learning and teaching in the classroom, supporting the school’s aim to be a place where everyone enjoys learning and is creative, trying new things, finding solutions and embracing the ethos of Courage, Justice and Respect.

• Our Student Leadership Team consists of students from different year groups. These leaders play a crucial role in shaping the school environment.
• They represent their peers, share ideas, and work collaboratively with teachers and staff to improve school life.
• Student leaders organize events, participate in decision-making processes, and contribute to school policies.
• Election Process: Students elect their representatives through a democratic process, ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard

• The School Council is a group of students who advocate for positive changes within the school.
• They discuss issues, propose solutions, and collaborate with teachers and administrators.
• School Council members represent their classmates and bring their concerns to the forefront.
• Election Process: Like the Student Leadership Team, School Council members are elected by their peers.

• Our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors play a vital role in creating a safe and respectful school environment.
• They actively promote kindness, empathy, and inclusivity.
• Ambassadors lead anti-bullying initiatives, raise awareness, and support students who experience bullying.
• Election Process: Ambassadors are chosen based on their commitment to promoting a positive school culture.
