Our Year 9 Council of Portsmouth Students (CoPS) representatives are meeting today to celebrate Unloc Student Voice.  This is an end of year celebratory event to showcase all of the hard work that action groups of young people have achieved over the course of the academic year.  The celebration event will include some special guest speakers and consultations with other CoPS groups. The student forums provide a platform for the voices of young people to be heard, and enables students to play an active role in bringing about change which will affect all young people in their area.  The forums look to empower students to share their thoughts, ideas and opinions surrounding their eduction and learning, as well as their wider community.  Students work together to find solutions to the issues they face, share conversations and resources to assist each other leading to an improved educational experience.  There are 12 Portsmouth schools taking part today remotely and we look forward to hearing about it in the next edition of Springfield News.  Well done to our CoPS representatives for all your hard work during this last academic year.
