This is a report about children’s views of learning and school life in Scotland. It draws on children’s participation in Children’s Parliament programmes, projects and consultations from 2008 to 2016.

The views and experiences shared in this report give us much food for thought, especially in the context of Scotland’s aspiration of becoming the best place to go to school. What children have said has also been the basis of a formal submission to the Scottish Government’s Education Governance Review (2016).
