Pupil voice is incredibly important to us at Chesterton. We ensure that our children have many opportunities to voice their opinions through student council meetings and through our Rights Respecting curriculum. In our most recent survey we asked our children a variety of questions about how they feel about their school experiences. The results were overwhelmingly positive and show that our children thoroughly enjoy their time with us. The positive response from pupils was also highlighted as part of our Gold Rights Respecting Schools Award:
What our children said:
100% of children enjoy school.
100% of children know the school rules and know that bullying is unacceptable. They know who to talk to if they have an issue and are confident it will be resolved.
100% of children feel safe at school.
100% of children feel challenged and know that they are expected to work hard.
Staff at Chesterton are highly valued; all staff members have the opportunity to participate in discussions and shape the direction of the school. They are an active part in thinking about ways to enhance pupil outcomes in terms of achievement, quality of teaching, behaviour and safety and the quality of leadership and management. In our most recent survey we asked our staff a variety of questions about how they feel about their school experiences.
What our staff said:

The surveys are just one way in which we gather our information. We hold regular coffee mornings and parents’ workshops to gain feedback on how we are doing. Members of our Senior Leadership Team are on the school gates at the start and end of each day and are always here to listen to your suggestions and share your kind words with the wider members of our school team.
