The Child Friendly Leeds 12 wishes represent the voice of children in young people in Leeds. They were refreshed in 2022, using data from 80,000 children and young people, and act as a framework for making Leeds the best city to grow up in. During our recent re-assessment for Healthy Schools, there were things we are doing as a school that go above and beyond in relation to the Child Friendly Leeds wishes. We were awarded with an official ‘Exceptional contribution to the Child Friendly Leeds wishes’ digital badge. We were awarded two badges, for work on Wish 1 and also Wish 3. You can find out more about each of the wishes here
