Pupil participation website up and running
An independent charity, School Councils UK, have launched a website which teachers, pupils, parents and local authorities can use to share their experiences and ideas to make schools better. School councils are democratically elected groups of students who represent their peers and enable pupils to become partners in their own education, making a positive contribution to the school environment and ethos. To find out more, visit their website.
