Pupil Parliament committees
Our democratically elected Pupil Parliament gives children a strong voice in the life of the school and helps them to grow as responsible citizens inspired by the Gospel. Each committee focuses on a key aspect of our mission and works to ensure that every pupil can contribute ideas and make a positive difference.
“For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.”

This committee helps to nurture and celebrate the Catholic identity of our school. Members help to plan and review opportunities for prayer, liturgies and Celebrations of the Word, suggest ways to strengthen parish links and encourage everyone to live out the Gospel values each day.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”
Matthew 5:9
During this year's UK Parliament Week , children from Years 1 to 6 took part in our Pupil Parliament elections. Those who felt called to serve created a letter or video manifesto, explaining how they would listen to others, act with kindness and work for the good of the whole school community.
On election day, each class visited our own polling station, complete with booths and ballot papers. This helped pupils understand the importance of every voice and reminded them that genuine leadership is rooted in fairness, respect and truth.
Once elected, our new Pupil Parliament gathered for their first meeting and welcomed local MP Lincoln Jopp. The children asked thoughtful questions about leadership, representation and resilience, linking their role to Gospel values such as justice, compassion and service to others.
Our Pupil Parliament continues to help shape the spiritual, moral and communal life of the school. Through their work, they model what it means to be a community of hope, where every child is valued, listened to and encouraged to play their part in building God’s kingdom.
