Student Voice is paramount at Haverstock School. Head of citizenship Chrischar Maasdorp, together with the entire management team, encourage the student council to take an active role in the life of the school as a community. They have managed to effect change by making their voice heard in the corridors of power, and it makes them feel like engaged citizens of Haverstock. Students are also a part of the interview process for senior staff; they quiz them about different things which teachers might not pick up on, and in doing so they feel they have made a difference to life at the school, since the deputy head's appointment was partly their doing. We also see how the school is striving to become a Rights Respecting School, and sit in on preparations for the national Mock Bar Trial competition which sixth form students are taking part in. It could take them to the crown court, and possibly a career in law.
