This training session will give you the tools, insight and confidence to make pupil voice a powerful driver of school improvement.

•A practical guide to conducting a high‑quality pupil book study Step-by-step strategies for selecting pupils, structuring conversations, analysing books and gathering evidence that is both rich and reliable.
