Pupil Voice

Talking Circles

We work hard to involve children in decision making within school.

A talking circle hard at work!

'Talking Circles' are mixed age groups of children who meet regularly to discuss ways to improve the school for pupils. They also organise events to fund raise for equipment for the school or to support other charities. Every child belongs to a talking circle. We feel it is important that every voice is heard in school.

 

Eco Warriors

GlobeGlobeGlobeGlobeGlobeGlobeGlobeGlobeGlobeGlobe

We are very proud of the achievements of our Eco Warriors this year. The group meets regularly and has drawn up an action plan for the school to help us to become more eco-aware.

They organise frequent litter picks to keep our grounds tidy and have planted bulbs and flowers to make our school more attractive. They have also begun recycling tins and paper. Recent triumphs have been a successful campaign to encourage local people to clean up after their dogs and an Eco Fair which raised £130 for their funds. In February 2012 we were awarded the Green Flag. We successfully applied for re-accreditation for the coveted Green Flag Award in July 2014 and received the following citation:-

"Layston is a delightful school which is currently embracing sustainability and the Eco School programme........this is an amazing achievement and a testimony to the drive, commitment and enthusiasm of staff and children." Kevin Fullerton, Eco-Schools Green Flag Assessor, July 2014.
