Bishop Ian Ramsey Church of England Primary School

PUPIL VOICE

We think it is important that the children in our school have the chance to voice their opinions on all aspects of school life. We do this in a number of ways, including regular pupil voice activities and through Pupil Groups that we have created, including the Pupil Groups detailed below:

 

Eco SCHOOL COUNCIL 

Our School Council have representatives from each class, who are voted onto the School Council by their peers in September. Our School Council meet regularly and help to organise lots of different events in school as well as meeting visitors to our school. They are also role models for the rest of the pupils in school. Some recent School Council activities have included;

  • organising a 'design a Christmas Card' competition for local care homes
  • raising money at the school fair for the shoe box appeal 
  • organising a 'design a Someone Special Card' competition for Mother's Day
  • representing the school at the Medomsley Remembrance Service
  • coming up with ideas to further improve our school, such as our new Buddy Bench on the yard

Look out for our School Council as they proudly wear their Eco School Council badges in school!

 

WORSHIP LEADERS 

Our Worship Leaders meet to plan, design and deliver Collective Worship every other Thursday. Our Worship Leaders often deliver their Collective Worship through prayers, songs and acting. They have delivered worship in school, church and even inside Durham Cathedral! We are always so impressed with their confidence when delivering worship in front of the whole school.

 

wellbeing warriors

Our Wellbeing Warriors are a Pupil Group, who have recently started their new role in Summer 2025. Pupils from each class, from Sycamore upwards, were put forward by their peers for showing key qualities needed to be a Wellbeing Warrior. They have then undertaken key training, including restorative conversation training. Our Wellbeing Warriors will be putting their training into action by helping their peers with their wellbeing and mental health - a very important role in school.

Look out for our Wellbeing Warriors as they proudly wear colourful lanyards in school at break times and lunch times!
