These pupil voice templates come in two formats:
The first format is your standard pupil voice survey, encouraging children to consider what learning is like in a specific subject, including questions like what they enjoy about the learning and what happens in lessons that helps them to learn.
The second format has been deliberately designed to move away from the more generic questions which tend to be the same for each subject. They aid conversations with children about the learning that has happened in specific subjects. The templates move away from the more generic and are quite specific in terms of finding out about children's substantive knowledge and disciplinary knowledge (when appropriate).
They are aimed at Year 2 and Year 5 or 6 children so that subject leaders and/ or school leaders can identify strengths and gaps in children's learning across a key stage. The questions aim to provide children with opportunities to talk about the learning in each subject and to enable adults to gain a picture of the enthusiasm and motivation children have as well as the knowledge they will have remembered.
If you are a school that is highly focused on improving children's subject knowledge and want to be reassured that you have prepared them well for their next stage of education, these are ideal for you.
You are free to make amendments where needed, but don't lose the focus on checking long-term memory as well as checking the disciplinary knowledge the children have acquired.
