Our junior parliament consists of ten children – two children from each class from Year One to Year Six.

We have participated in campaigning against the housing development on the green belt area in New Hall, promoted safety across the school when concerns arise in our meetings, created a school cookbook sharing recipes from the local community and we encourage others to walk to school or to use bikes and scooters. These are just a few things that we have participated in.

The junior parliament  improves pupils and teachers relationships, demonstrates good communication skills, decision making and teamwork. Pupils have pride in themselves and in our school. Everyone’s opinions count towards making a better school environment. The school council makes a difference.

Recently, the junior parliament came together during Kindness and Antibullying week and discussed how we can ensure bullying does not take place and this led to the pupils wanting to share their ideas of what bullying is through a poster.
