Launch the agreement with pupils

Promoting the agreement effectively to pupils from the outset can contribute to sustaining its impact and momentum. This should be considered particularly where the agreement is to be signed by pupils.

  • How can the launch be given some status?

  • Is it possible to turn this event into some form of celebration involving someone that might appeal to the pupils? Will this celebration be held in school, just after school or as an evening event? In some primary schools, football club mascots have been very well received.

  • Why not organise a special assembly, school disco or family event to celebrate the launch? Acknowledge the commencement of a new and special partnership.
For example, at Keir Hardie Primary School, Newham, the pupils were presented with a signed certificate from West Ham United players acknowledging their support for the agreement.

What other imaginative initiatives can be arranged to interest pupils in the agreement?
