Votes For Schools
VotesforSchools provides weekly resources for teachers to prompt impartial discussion on a challenging current issue. Our students get the opportunity to vote and comment and we ensure that their voices are heard and have an impact.
Be Informed. Be Curious. Be Heard.
At Lower Fields Primary Academy, we are passionate about our children’s voices having an impact on practice and policy- to really make a mark on their world. In addition to amplifying our weekly results, we work with a range of long-term partners who help elevate those voices to a whole new level.

Do you have any role models?
Vote Topic Description
To celebrate International Women’s Day on 8th March, voters will be discussing role models. Younger voters have the opportunity to investigate the kinds of qualities that make someone inspiring, and consider if they have any similar figures in their lives. Meanwhile, older voters discuss the people they look up to, and reflect on whether similarity is always important when choosing a role model.
