OUR SCHOOLS

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.

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 objectives for the Trust Pupil Parliament are as follows:

Gathering pupil feedback to enhance Ed-Tech for the future
Promoting children’s mental health, in alignment with this year’s theme, “Your Voice Matters”
Fostering healthier and happier playtime experiences
