Make you come to school on Saturdays!!!! lol
I would like school education to be more fun. I would like teachers to have a bit more freedom to plan really good lessons that will make school more fun. I would not have you starting school until you were 7. I would make lessons start at 8:30 on a morning and finish at 4 but have Friday afternoons off. I would have common rooms in schools so you could hang out on rainy days. I would support the new diplomas that are coming out as not everyone wants 12 GCSE but want a trade skill. I could go on and on.

Without extra money, that is a difficult question. I would like to see schools open longer so that children could pursue other interests and do more sport and so on, but that would need parents and other volunteers to help. I think using the arts in education is beneficial, it stimulates the imagination and helps people be more creative.

Make sure teachers are motivated to teach inspiring lessons and ensure children are aware of opportunities that they would like to be involved in – life skills not just academic.

I think that the books we use in lessons are all quite old and falling apart so I think they could be replaced with modern ones. I also think that more bins could be placed round the school as people litter and it makes the school look messy. When it rains I think that there sould be more indoor activities like DVD’s at lunch in the hall and I think that if it rains at breaks pupils should be able to go into the computer rooms to play games and listen to music instead of being sent outside.

Branksome has had a rough ride, I would like to see the building improved, and some more money to make lessons more interesting.

I would like to see common rooms for rainy days were the activities to talk about could take place. As far as your books they could be replaced or we could invest in more online facilities that would not need replacing by the school but the people who own the web page.
