Who uses Choice Voting in your school?

Choice Voting is not just for the person running your governor election. Different teams across your school use the platform for different purposes.

Senior Leadership Teams

Governance oversight, school climate insight, institutional transparency. Demonstrate to governors and inspectors that you listen to your communities.

Pastoral Teams

Student wellbeing monitoring, safeguarding insight, early intervention. Structured ways to gather student feedback and spot emerging issues.

Teachers

Student engagement and learning feedback. Quick polls after lessons, curriculum consultations, and student council elections run from the classroom.

Support Staff

Inclusion insights and operational feedback. A voice for the teams that keep schools running but are often underrepresented in consultation processes.

Students

Representation and voice. Student council elections, head boy/girl votes, pupil parliament, and structured feedback that shows the school listens.

Parents

A genuine voice in school decisions. Governor elections, satisfaction surveys, uniform consultations, and policy acknowledgements — all from their phone.

Set up in minutes, whatever you need to run

Whether it is a governor election, a wellbeing survey, or a trust-wide consultation, the process is the same: choose what you need, add your people, and go.

Elections

Parent governor, staff governor, student council, head boy/girl, prefect elections. Nominations through to verified, auditable results.

Surveys

Student wellbeing, staff satisfaction, parent feedback, curriculum consultations. Anonymous or named, your choice.
