It is really important that the pupils at Elvington Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School have participated in The Big Ambition survey and had their say.

I want to ensure that the voices of all children in York are fairly represented in the findings so that I can share their views with the most senior members of the country.

I must reiterate that it is vital that all children have their voice heard through this survey because, as Children’s Commissioner for England, I have a statutory duty to protect and promote the views and interests of children. The Big Ambition provides a much-needed opportunity for the children of England to tell political decision makers what is important to them ahead of the General Election. I will be sharing their responses with Government to ensure that children’s voices are heard.Dame Rachel De Souza, Children’s Commissioner for England
