New Waltham Academy Pupil Voice
RE
We value our pupil’s voice at New Waltham Academy and have now held our first Pupil Voice afternoon. As RE lead, I had a group of 28 children formed from Early Years to Year 6 for the children to share their thoughts and feelings with each other as well as myself.

Thoughts on RE):
‘I like learning about other religions.’
‘Like learning about God.’
‘Tricky’
‘Like learning about different celebrations’
‘Interesting’
‘It’s hard’
Things the children would like more of:

Crafts - such as making Christingles, advent wreaths
Visits – to a place of worship
