It is interesting to see which proposals have been acted on and which still reflect the concerns of pupils in the 1990s.

Three years later Lawrence Stenhouse, director of the controversial Humanities Curriculum Project, drew up a statement of the ‘demands’ that pupils should be able to make of the school and the expectations that they could justifiably hold of it. The work was commissioned by the then Schools Council, but the Council refused to give the principles its imprimatur and it was published not by the Council but by the author some years later (Stenhouse, 1983). These are some of the items that Stenhouse thought would make a difference to young people’s experience of school; they are similar in focus and spirit to those of the NUSS document:

Pupils have a right to demand:

That the school shall treat them impartially and with respect as persons.

That the school’s aim and purposes shall be communicated to them openly, and discussed with them as the need arises.

That the procedures and organisational arrangements of the school should be capable of rational justification and that the grounds of them should be available to them.
