The aim of the Pupil Parliament is to promote pupil leadership opportunities, enabling children to develop valuable communication, organisation and debating skills through key roles of responsibility and new experiences.

Each committee runs meetings with clear agendas where members take on different roles and responsibilities.  These will be scheduled assembly times each term.   The Chairperson sets the agenda and leads the meetings, the Secretary takes the minutes and the Treasurer is responsible for the committee’s budget.  The committee members work together on their chosen projects, lead meetings with their own classes and discuss challenges and resolutions with different members of staff.  This is to ensure that the views of the school are listened to, debated and acted upon so that the Pupil Parliament gets the best outcome for every project.

Pupil Parliament Update 22,9,26

 

Our Pupil Parliament has been busy working together to make a positive difference across our school. Through their committee meetings, pupils have been sharing ideas, discussing important issues and planning exciting activities that will benefit our whole school community.

The Sports Committee has been exploring fun events that could bring pupils together while also raising money for the school, including the possibility of a KS1 versus KS2 event. The Fundraising Committee is also planning ahead, including ideas for collecting donations during our Remembrance Mass in the Prayer Garden.

Our Food Committee is preparing surveys to find out which foods pupils enjoy and is looking at ways we can reduce food waste. The Wellbeing Committee has been focusing on our Buddy Bench, helping to make sure that everyone has someone to play with at break and lunchtime and that nobody feels left out.

The Computing Committee is helping pupils understand what Artificial Intelligence (AI) is and how to use it safely. They are also planning to share useful information with parents about keeping children safe when using AI at home. Meanwhile, the Eco Committee has been learning about the steps needed to achieve a Green Flag Award and discussing campaigns that could make our school more environmentally friendly.

Our committees are also thinking about how we can care for the world around us. The Outdoor Committee has been discussing ways to protect nature around school and reminding pupils about staying safe around plants and berries. The RE Committee is planning a Godly Play Club, encouraging more children to attend the Rosary, and launching the exciting Mini Jesus game, where Mini Jesus figures will be hidden for classes to find.

Creativity and learning remain an important part of our Pupil Parliament too. The Art Committee is preparing to launch paper swan making and a poster competition for the Nativity, while the Reading Committee is already looking ahead to World Book Day and thinking of new ways to encourage everyone to read more. They are also reminding pupils about the importance of keeping our library tidy.

Through these committees, our pupils are continuing to develop valuable skills in communication, teamwork, leadership, organisation and problem-solving. Most importantly, they are learning that their ideas can make a real difference. Our Pupil Parliament continues to provide opportunities for every child to contribute, take responsibility and help shape a happy, caring and inclusive school community where every voice matters and every contribution counts.

Parliament Update 29,09,26

During our whole-school assembly, our Year 6 Pupil Parliament Ambassadors proudly shared updates on the action points and ideas being developed by each committee. They presented their own updates brilliantly, speaking with great clarity, confidence and enthusiasm as they shared the exciting work taking place across the school.

The whole school listened with great interest and is now excited to begin their Pupil Parliament journey, getting involved in new initiatives, sharing their ideas and working together to make a positive difference. It was wonderful to see our Year 6 Ambassadors leading by example and inspiring every pupil to recognise that their voice matters and their contribution can make a difference.
