Our Pupil Voice: Pupil Learning Committee

Last Friday, 20th January we held our first 'Pupil Learning Committee' meeting. A representative from each class at St. Vincent's makes up the committee and our main focus for this term is supporting the work on making our school more dyslexia friendly.

We discussed what being dyslexic means and some members of the committee explained that they were dyslexic and how this affects them at school. This was really interesting and the committee dicussed the types of strategies and support materials that were currently available in their classrooms and came up with some really good ideas about how to improve our provision.

For our next meeting, Miss Butler who is leading the Dyslexia Friendly Strategy will be presenting to the committee about dyslexia. We will then be discussing how to make our school even more dyslexia friendly and plan a learning walk for the following meeting where we will be checking that all classrooms and surrounding areas promote a dyslexia friendly approach.

We will keep you posted!
