Pupil Voice Bundle: From Baseline to Action (EEF-Informed Toolkit)

Pupil voice is often reduced to surveys, discussions or one-off activities.

This bundle is designed to do something different.
Together, these two resources provide a coherent approach to pupil voice - from understanding learners’ thinking to using that insight to shape teaching.

What’s included:

1. Pupil Voice Start Pack: Building Metacognition & Learner Agency (EEF-Informed)
   A practical starting point to:
   • gather meaningful pupil voice
   • develop metacognitive awareness
   • support learners to reflect on how they learn
   Grounded in evidence, this resource helps you move beyond surface-level responses and towards authentic insight into pupil thinking.

2. From Voice to Action
   A follow-on tool designed to ensure pupil voice actually leads to change.
   Use structured prompts:

• Before teaching – to shape planning
• During teaching – to adapt in real time
• After teaching – to refine and build future learning
  Each stage ends with:
  “Because of pupil voice, I will…”
  This ensures pupil voice results in clear instructional decisions - not just reflection.

Why this bundle?
Used together, these resources support you to:

• move from collecting pupil voice to using it effectively
• link pupil voice directly to teaching and learning decisions
• develop metacognition, learner agency and independence
• align with EEF guidance and Curriculum for Wales principles of progression

Who is it for?

• Teachers looking to improve the impact of pupil voice
• Curriculum leads and SLT developing whole-school approaches
• Schools working on metacognition, progression and learner agency

Important:
These are not worksheets or tick-box activities.
They are thinking tools designed to:

• guide professional judgement
• support meaningful dialogue
• and improve classroom practice over time

The bottom line:
If pupil voice isn’t changing teaching, it isn’t having impact.
This bundle helps you ensure that it does.
