What is Investors in Pupils?
The Investors in Pupils programme is an established national quality mark to recognise, develop and extend pupil/student voice and participation strategies in schools and educational settings building young people’s life skills, character and resilience. Supporting personalised learning, the programme fosters healthy relations; pupil to pupil and pupil to adults, leading to greater pupil responsibility over their own learning and behaviour and providing a powerful tool for developing a positive whole-school team ethos.
The five main areas of Investors in Pupils are:
- Classroom management
- Learning
- Behaviour
- Attendance
- Induction
The programme is very important for Hilderthorpe children as it helps them to know:
- How they can contribute towards their own learning by increasing their involvement and working as a team.
- The roles and responsibilities of everyone in school.
- The importance of coming to school every day.
- The cost of our equipment and how we spend our class budgets.
- Who our Governors are and what they do.
- What each member of staff does and how adults in school as well as the children are on a journey of life-long learning.
- How to look after new children and staff in school.
- The benefits of making good choices.
- That they are an important part of their class and school.
