Multi-Schools Council Meeting Hosted by King’s Ford Academy

On Thursday 5th March, King’s Ford Academy was delighted to host the latest Multi-Schools Council Meeting, welcoming pupils and staff from four other schools for an inspiring morning of collaboration, discussion, and pupil voice.

During the Share Zone, our young representatives took part in thoughtful conversations around several key topics that matter to children in all schools. Together, we explored:

• Leaving School – What would you like to know before moving on?
  Pupils shared their hopes, worries, and questions about transitioning to their next school, highlighting the importance of feeling prepared and supported.
• Belonging – What does belonging mean to you, and what helps you feel it?
  Children spoke honestly about friendships, inclusion, kindness, and how small acts can make a big difference to creating a sense of community.
• Homework – What are your thoughts?
  Opinions ranged from enjoying the challenge to wanting a better balance. The discussion encouraged everyone to think about how homework can help learning while still being manageable.
• Mental Health vs Physical Health – How can we combine the two?
  Pupils come up with brilliant ideas on how staying active supports wellbeing, and how schools can continue to blend physical activity with positive mental health strategies.

We are incredibly proud to share that King’s Ford Academy has been recognised for having outstanding ambassadors. Even more exciting, we have been nominated for four ambassadors to represent the Multi-Schools Council—a wonderful achievement that reflects the passion, maturity, and leadership of our pupils.

A huge thank you to all the schools who joined us and to the pupils whose voices, ideas, and enthusiasm made the meeting such a success. We look forward to the next gathering and to continuing our work together to make schools even better places for everyone.
