4. What does Investors in Pupils mean? The key word is Pupil voice –the importance of listening to what pupils have to say. Making sure they feel valued. Pupils and staff working together to improve our school Working as a team Have pride in our school and take responsibility to make Rhydypenau Primary the best school! To find out what the staff do in their school day Everything we already do.

6. Why? We are doing nearly all of the elements of investors in pupils (explained later). We might as well go for the award Get ideas from the minds of the children Build a strong team. Working together.

7. What will we see in each classroom? Mission statements Class targets Individual targets Pictures of pupils on classroom doors Pictures of staff on classroom doors Roles and responsibilities Handbooks to come! Now we are going to talk about each element and what it will look like in our school.

8. Mission statements/ Class Targets At the beginning of each week, every class decides a relevant target to try to fulfil. We believe that having a class target as well as an individual target can improve teamwork and other areas. The reward for completing the class target is a special treat from your class teacher and as a bonus there is a chance of being able to sit on the benches/chairs for a whole week.

9. Individual Targets At our school children make individual targets and then discuss them with our teachers. It is important we take a lead in our learning. We need to know the next steps in learning.
