At Holy Trinity C of E Primary School, pupil voice is central to everything we do. We believe children should play an active role in shaping their school experience and feel confident that their views are listened to and respected.  Pupils are encouraged to develop into independent, reflective and articulate learners who know their views are valued. Our vision is to nourish pupils who are:

• confident speakers
• courageous advocates
• proud of their achievements
• prepared to apply their voice well in their community and beyond.
