Maths Council
Pupil Council | What do we do?
Our Maths Pupil Council has been created as a vehicle to capture pupil voice, explore ideas and transfer this feedback directly back into classrooms as a way of making pupil-informed changes.
The council also supports staff in their drive to continuously raise standards.
Our council will focus on aspects of the curriculum that fall under three main categories:
1. Things that are already in place in school, and going well and positively support learning.
2. Things that are in need of repair or re-think as they are not working as we would like or need.
3. Things that could be invented and created to help everyone learn more and learn better.
Council members will work with their link leader, observe aspects of school life and regularly report back to senior staff on how things are going in school - from their pupil perspective.
Pupils are also introduced to the Ofsted Framework and begin to sensitively unpick how this can be used to make impactful and relevant changes.
Pupils are valued as pupils and go beyond the framework to view learning through the eyes of themselves - as young learners. This is their unique input that makes the Pupil Council a positive group to be part of, as well as a group who can represent their peers and make meaningful pupil-informed changes in school.

Examples of our work as a Pupil Council
This is where we showcase examples of our work and its impact on the life and learning of pupils in school.
Next Steps...
1. Meet with LAT Maths Lead, Helen Atkins, to get feedback on what's going well and what could be even better.
2. Meet with Maths Leaders from other LAT Schools to see how pupils use manipulatives in class to help them better understand and explain their thinking.
3. Meet Professor Burgess, from Plymouth University, to see how extra learning sessions could take place for our most inspired pupil mathematicians.
4. Set up extra Math sessions and mentoring for pupils who either want and/or require extra tuition with a link to Mayflower, Plymouth University and Devonport High School for Boys.
5. Ensure that all pupils and parents know how they can access and use Timetables Rock Stars when at school and at home.
