Be Informed. Be Curious. Be Heard.

At Lower Fields Primary Academy, we are passionate about our children’s voices having an impact on practice and policy- to really make a mark on their world. In addition to amplifying our weekly results, we work with a range of long-term partners who help elevate those voices to a whole new level.

This week, the Cambridge Dictionary revealed its Word of the Year: parasocial — a term describing the one-sided relationships fans often form with celebrities. It’s sparked debate about how much value these connections hold and where healthy boundaries should be set. Older voters think about whether parasocial relationships can be helpful, while younger voters think about imaginary friends and their role in relationship-building. 

Vote Topic Description

Last week’s VoteTopic marks International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3rd. Voters thought about whether disabled people’s stories are heard on page, stage and screen, and why this is important.
