Pupil Voice

Pupil voice is paramount at Westbourne. We prioritise ensuring all pupils feel heard and valued.

Pupil voice is paramount at Westbourne. We prioritise ensuring all pupils feel heard and valued. This is achieved through regular pupil surveys, a ‘worry box’ email address and a physical post box located in both senior school and junior school.

These channels encourage open communication and allow pupils to express concerns about themselves or others, ensuring their voices are heard and addressed.

The school council teams look at how suggestions and concerns can be actioned and the outcomes are then fed back to the students.

The purpose of a PASS survey is to gather pupils' perspectives on their school experience, well-being, and learning, providing valuable insights that help identify areas for improvement and inform targeted interventions. By completing this survey on a termly basis, we can track progress over time and ensure that the support offered is responsive to the evolving needs of each pupil.

Individualised Learning & Pupil Progress

As part of their enrichment programme, pupils braved the rain and visited The Botanical Gardens on Thursday morning to complete two challenges. Their first quest was to work in teams to solve the Riddle Trail, with clues penned by local author Berlie Doherty inscribed onto pieces of artwork hidden amongst the plants and features of the garden. Their second mission was to find all items on their Botanical Bingo sheet and take a photo as evidence. Items to be hunted down included an insect on a flower, moss growing on a rock and of course, no trip to the Botanical Gardens would be complete without tracking down its famous bear! Pupils will be asked to compile a photo montage of their snaps and bring it to their English lessons this term to be used as the basis for creative writing. We were very impressed with the way in which pupils approached this experiential learning opportunity – engaging with nature, noticing the things around them and working effectively as teams. Congratulations to Ms Leyland's group who completed the Riddle Trail in the fastest time; a team treat will be heading their way soon as a prize! Image
