END OF YEAR CELEBRATION OF REWARDS During the summer term special end of year activities take place. Students who have achieved the highest standards of attendance, achievement, effort and participation are rewarded and invited to take part in these exciting events. Student Voice Student Voice is the set of systems through which young people contribute their opinions and suggestions on Academy life in an open, honest, secure and constructive way. At Bedford Academy we believe that all students are entitled to contribute actively in shaping the educational experience they and their fellow students receive. Bedford Academy is committed to placing Student Voice at the centre of lesson planning and design of the wider curriculum. Students in all years at Bedford Academy have many opportunities to contribute their views and opinions.The Student Voice team meet regularly to look at a wide variety of topics such as Environment, Charities, Student Wellbeing and Diversity.They also contribute to event organisation within the academy and wider community projects such as supporting with local care homes, the baby bank and fundraising. The Student Voice team also play an increasingly important role in the interview process of recruiting new staff and play an active part in whole school decision making, including presenting their ideas to the staff and governors of the school.
