We encourage pupils at Caister Academy to share any worries they have with a member of staff.  For pupils who have a concern that they would like to share with us discretely we subscribe to the Student Voice website.  Pupils can access the customised Caister Academy site from their school dashboard (Student links page).  The Student Voice is a great tool for us to use to support each other keeping safe

Student Voice

Each year, Creative Education Trust launch a Student Voice survey, where students get the opportunity to report their findings about their school anonymously. We are proud to report that the 2022-2023 survey indicates that 95% of Caister Academy students would report a concern to a member of staff at the school. 

At Caister Academy we offer the Student Voice portal, where students can anonymously report any concerns that they may have, such as: areas of the community or school where they feel unsafe, to report bullying, non-urgent disclosures, or student forum suggestions regarding the school. Students can access this portal from their school dashboard on a school device. We believe Student Voice is a fantastic tool to help capture any worries students may have. Since using this portal, we believe students have played a key role in keeping each other safe.
