Pupil Parliament

In 2021 we launched our Pupil Parliament initiative as part of our commitment to put our pupils at the heart of everything we do.

All schools within the #ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍøters family now have at least two elected members who are attending regular sessions to debate upon meaningful and weighty matters of concern at their schools and local communities. We believe that all children have both the right and ability to help lead the Executive Team in shaping future initiatives which will affect their own education.

Through the development of their own leadership and communication skills, our Executive is able to collect and respond to pupil voice and strengthen their understanding of what steps need to be taken to meet our vision statement that 'every child deserves to be the best that they can be'.

Through the Pupil Parliament pupils are given the opportunity to bring the thoughts and ideas of their peer group to the forum. They develop the belief in our schools that they have the right to an opinion but the responsibility to listen to others, preparing them for the next step in their education and their life beyond. The Parliament has five meetings a year and a Chair, Vice-Chair and Secretary voted annually by the Pupil Parliament members.
