The JF Big Ask 2.0

Last year we conducted The JF Big Ask, where, Senior and Middle Leaders met with all the students across the school in a mass student voice activity to glean their thoughts and feelings on what was working well at JF and where improvements needed to be made.

Off the back of the initial JF Big Ask students were able to drive some changes in the school including configurations to the Science toilets, an enhanced lunchtime supervision rota, changes to the cafeteria food, introduction of a “Call it out” button on the website for reporting bullying or unkindness, higher frequency of toilets being checked and cleaned and the setting up of the Student Council to more regularly report into myself and the Senior Leadership Team ideas for improvements the student body would like in their school.

A year down the line, we wanted to give the students the opportunity to reflect on what has improved (or indeed for Year 7s what they like about joining us!) and to hear where students would now like further improvements. To this end, we have completed The Big Ask 2.0!

Mrs Frost-Briggs recently fed back to Year 7-10 students in assembly on The Big Answer 2.0 and Year 11 had their delivery through a recording due to the mock examinations. We would like to share this recording with parents/carers so you can get a feel for what the children told us and how we are responding. You can find the video here
