Who drew up the Children's Manifesto? Meet our panel of 10 children who oversaw and edited all the submissions
Markus Heinonen, 6, Cambridge
Children should be listened to because they sometimes have better ideas than adults. That is because the children's brains are new and not old.
Oliver Stewart, 12, Cornwall
I think having nice teachers is the most important because lots of children don't like certain subjects because of the teacher, and then that influences them on jobs in later life.
Zarah Yesufu, 8, London
It's important to listen to children because you have to treat them with respect if you want them to have respect for you.
Linda Epstein, 15, London
I think the most important point is having expert teachers, because if you have people who are passionate and well known in their subject they are more likely to engage and motivate the students into excelling in the same way as them.
Alice Nutting, 16, Lincoln
Why should schools listen to children? Well, why shouldn't they? Government ministers and teachers don't always know best: pupils will be happier with something they've contributed to.
Sofia Lockwood, 7, Guernsey
Being comfy is important, because if you weren't comfy you wouldn't really like it and if you didn't like it you wouldn't want to go to school.
Jake Swinburne, 8, Hartlepool
It's really the children's school, and the children would be able to do things better if it was the way they liked it.
Vishane Mendis, 9, Essex
I think it's important to listen to children since we have a really big imagination and we could have ideas on how to make lessons fun. And the teachers may be able to learn something from us since they don't know everything.
Michael Anning, 11, Norfolk
Children would be more confident if the school encouraged them to express their views and showed them they had listened. It would feel as if everyone was part of a team.
Jessica Stewart, 18, Berwick-upon-Tweed
An ideal school is inclusive of everyone. I think that's important in the modern world we live in.
