Smart School Councils is a charity helping every child to find their voice #127758;
At a time of deep division in society, it’s more important than ever for young people to be a central part of our democracy and debate. This can’t only be open to those with the loudest voices, pushy parents, or who are the easiest to work with.
#Our award-winning, easy-to-use platform for busy schools enables every pupil in a school to be involved in active, everyday democracy. Our 506 member schools are making this a reality.
#We support schools with a whole-school approach to democracy. 10,000 children take part every day in short, student-led class meetings that lead to real change and build oracy skills. Debates include school-based topics or local, national or global issues through our Big Debate Club programme.
#Smart School Councils’ Board of Trustees are responsible for the charity’s strategy and financial security. He is joined by Lucy Macnab, Co-Executive Director at the Forward Arts Foundation, Andrew Moffatt, Education Lead at Heat Geek and James Teasdale, Head of Delivery at Multiverse.
#With a tiny amount of seed investment from The Young Foundation, we have built an exciting and scalable platform used by 506 paying member schools across the world. Our programme increases the percentage of pupils involved in democracy from 6% to 80% in a single term. It increases the average percentage of pupils who feel listened to from 36% before the programme to 83% after.
