Pupil Inspectors
We receive an annual pupil inspection by our pupils - the 'Best Practice Seekers'. A group of children have been trained in inspecting different areas of the school. On a dedicated morning the children go around the school freely in pairs and look at the environment, talk to pupils and other adults. Areas explored are:
- Sharing our Views and Ideas
- Friendships and Relationships
- We belong and are Valued
- The School Environment
- Our Help and Support
- Learning
- Mental Health and Wellbeing
- Best Bits about St Peter's
The Best Practice Seekers then feedback to the Senior Leadership Team and objectives are agreed together. These feed directly into School Improvement Planning for the next academic year.
