Enhancing Continuous Improvement in Education through Student Voice and Collaborative Training

This initiative at Piggott School emphasizes continuous improvement (Kaizan) by integrating student voice into the educational process. In collaboration with Reading University, training days were established, beginning with Year 9 students and extending to PGCE/GTP trainees. The pilot program aimed to enhance teacher practices through peer observations, fostering more rigorous self-review and targeted teacher training. While benefits include improved student-teacher relationships and enhanced teaching, the program faces challenges due to varying staff perceptions. The next phase invites deeper student involvement in curriculum and building projects.
