St Ethelbert’s Catholic Primary School & Nursery in Ramsgate has been making investment in the premises with a ‘Forest Library’, new toilets and improvements to the middle playground.
The children’s leadership team meets every term with headteacher Simon Marshall to discuss the school and possible improvements.
Mr Marshall said: “Pupil voice is essential when it comes to improving our school. In the meetings we talk about our school strengths and areas for development.
“Last time the children were very keen to invest in the toilets and middle playground. Therefore, we have installed new junior girl toilets and infant boy toilets. We have also got our middle playground tarmacked for all our children to enjoy.
“At St Ethelbert’s, we want to develop the love and enjoyment of reading. Therefore, we have created a Forest Library for all children to enjoy. Individuals, groups and a whole class of children can now choose a reading book, levelled for their reading age, and immerse themselves in the book while feeling like they are secluded in a forest.
“Thank you so much to Ronan Higginson – Countdown Champion 2023 and ex pupil- who came into school to talk to the children and have his photograph with some of our school council members.
“He also completed a times table challenge with our Year 4 children”
The school also thanks James Vandervord, Design and Manufacture who completed works on the premises.
