Funding informationEast Renfrewshire Local Authority Despite Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN, 1989) being common parlance in Scottish schools, children often remain positioned with little voice or power to make decisions, especially in dialogue about teaching, learning and curriculum (Flutter, 2007;Leat & Reid, 2012). Students as Researchers tackles these critiques by recognising children as agentic rights holders who have expertise the adults do not (Bakhtiar et al., 2023). This approach is emancipatory and radical; through the research process students develop enquiry skills, with opportunities to engage with self and others in novel, creative ways (Fielding & Bragg, 2003).This paper reports on a Students as Enquirers project at a Scottish high school. Offering children's accounts of engagement in their own voices-something missing within much of the academic work on such initiatives-we exemplify the reflexive process undertaken and give insight into the effectiveness of the process and key learnings that arose.
