I've implemented it in two schools (one secondary and one primary) and think it is brilliant, engaging, informative for children of any age. It would be the first implementation in a new school where I to change roles again.

Dominic Mulholland found VotesforSchools:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    Planning for topical pshe/citizenship discussions prevents us all having to do our own. Full detailed prep and resources eases pressure on staff to provide engaging material from scratch.
  • Significantly increases student collaboration
    Inspired by Votes for Schools themes, group of 10yo girls hosted assemblies and undertook fundraising in aftermath of Australian bushfire devastation.
  • Significantly improves teacher wellbeing
    Confidence in quality resource reduces stress for all who use/deliver the sessions.
  • Moderately improves school processes
    Higher profile for student voice resulting in increased home/school communication and collaboration
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    More than knowledge it builds the skills of reasoned debate, considering the facts and having informed opinions on significant issues (from age 7 on our case).
