Preston Hedges Trust Pupil Parliament

LEARN MORE

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.

The children have some important Trust projects to work on during their elected year of leadership, set by the Trust leadership team and are prepared to make a meaningful impact as leaders within both their school and the Trust.

The Pupil Parliament meets regularly throughout the year and brings together student representatives from across our schools. It provides a valued forum where pupils can share feedback, ideas, and updates from their own school communities, ensuring that student voice plays a meaningful role in decision-making across the Trust.

Pupils are supported to understand the importance and influence of their voice, empowering them to contribute confidently and thoughtfully. Working closely with the Trust Executive Team, members of the Pupil Parliament help shape initiatives and developments that have a positive impact on teaching, learning, and the wider educational experience of all pupils.

Through this collaboration, the Pupil Parliament helps to improve leadership skills, confidence, and a strong sense of responsibility, while ensuring that the views of young people remain at the heart of our Trust.

Involvement in the Trust Pupil Parliament provides children with meaningful opportunities to develop their understanding of democracy and leadership. These experiences equip them with essential skills and confidence that will benefit them as they progress through their education and contribute positively to the wider community.

Our current objectives for the Trust Pupil Parliament are as follows:
