Voted in by their peers, Year Six students from all our schools have a voice in decision making through the Trust’s Pupil Parliament. Writing manifestos during National Parliament week, students learn about leadership, teamwork, and active participation in school life through this energising experience, which is open to all.
Pupil Parliament meets regularly throughout the year. Students share feedback and updates from their respective schools, acting as the voice of their community.
Understanding the power of their voice, and the difference they can make, children are also supported to work with the Trust Executive Team to help shape initiatives, positively impacting the educational experience of all their peers.
Involvement within the Trust Pupil parliament allows children the opportunity to really develop their understanding and experience of democracy as well as experience of leadership, providing them opportunities that will be hugely beneficial in the next step in their educational career and beyond.
Our current Trust Pupil Parliament aims are as follows:
-
- Pupil input into future proofing Ed-Tech
- Supporting children’s mental health, linked to this year’s children mental health theme “Your Voice Matters”
- Creating healthier / happier playtimes
