Over the past few weeks, the Article 12 Ambassadors at John Bramston have been working with Redbridge Council to develop their
Making Redbridge More Child-Friendly initiative.
The council have been looking for meaningful ways to engage children in the initiative and to encourage the sharing of children's ideas and opinions. They asked the children of John Bramston to help test their questionnaire before it is sent out to all Redbridge schools.
The Article 12 Ambassadors took to this task extremely positively, first asking their classes to reflect on the language of the questionnaire:
- Was it easily understood by our students?
- What changes to the wording could lead to a greater understanding?
Once this was completed, the ambassadors read the updated questions to their classes and took suggestions.
Last Friday, a member of the council,
Mr Nazmul Haque, visited John Bramston Primary to attend one of our Article 12 meetings so that he could listen to the ideas put forth by the students of J.B. He was very impressed with the work of the ambassadors saying:
"It was really valuable and has given me a clearer picture of how we want to engage with other schools going forward."Well done to everyone involved, those who took an active part in discussions as well as those who contributed to our post-it poster suggesting improvements to the borough. Article 12 in action!
