At Sciennes, we are proud of our longstanding commitment to encouraging pupils to participate and take the lead as Successful Learners and Confident Individuals and to take action as Effective Contributors and Responsible local and global Citizens. In this ‘Year of Young People’ we have sought to extend opportunities further, including pupils taking a strong lead at the Winter and Summer Fairs and redesigning our annual school fundraiser (Meadows Mayhem).

Below are some of the Pupil Groups operating at school and you will also find information about pupil led initiatives within the Wider Achievement section of our website, developing their skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work. Many of our Pupil Groups work closely with our equivalent Parent Council Groups.

We value and actively promote opportunities for all pupils to participate in all areas of school life: within the curriculum; to take responsibility for events, to make contributions to school life and have their views considered in matters that affect them.
The Children and Young People’s Commissioner for Scotland (CYPCS) commissioned a report which explores how pupil participation is linked to attainment and achievement:

Three Primary Six pupils are selected as Junior Road Safety Officers each year to lead the school on Road Safety.

P7 Gender Equality Group

Two of our P7 pupils, Niamh and Alice, approached our Senior Leadership in September 2017, inspired to take action by a BBC documentary (No More Boys and Girls – Can Our Kids Go Gender Free?) on gender bias. Both girls spoke at a whole staff meeting, inviting all classes P1-P7 to take part in a … Continue reading P7 Gender Equality Group
