The ethos of Worthinghead is one of democracy. All staff and children are involved in the decision making processes for all areas. Discussions around acceptable behaviour are commonplace. The voting systems within classes for a wide range of issues - often done without prior planning. Our children are always involved.
Year 4 used democracy to debate if immigration is a good thing.
Worthinghead has an active school council which meets with Mrs Greenwood each half term. They help to shape many aspects of school life. All classes discuss the British voting system and follow the democratic system. See below for a link to the school council page.
