We live out democracy in many ways. 'If you have a voice, you have a choice'

They prepare and deliver a manifesto to the house meeting and then everyone has one vote in a ballot to select the House Captain. We discuss democracy with them through this process.
• Throughout the year the House Captain then gather through democratic votes how we carry out future activities and events. Examples have included disco themes, hymns for worship of ways to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee. For the Plantinum Jubilee the children democratiocally decided to celebrate via a bake the cake competition and a street party at lunchtime 
• Children are going to vote on how we wish to celebrate King Charles III Corination on May 8th 2023 in the near future
• Worship Leaders were selected after interviews by a vote from the outgoing Worship Leaders 
• Classes work together to develop and agree the rules/routines in their classroom
