Pupil Voice
At Lacock Primary School, we believe that our children are the most important people and we endeavour to give them lots of opportunities to share their thoughts and opinions and play an active role in the decisions that affect their learning and well-being.
During the development of our curriculum the children were asked to share their thoughts about what they want to learn and how they would like to be taught. Our curriculum very much matches the needs and desires of our children.
