Empowering Young Voices
At Copperfield Academy, we believe that every child has the right to be heard. Our Pupil Parliament is a vibrant platform designed to empower our students, giving them a voice in shaping their school community and promoting positive change.
What is Pupil Parliament?
The Pupil Parliament is made up of representatives from each class, elected by their peers. This initiative encourages democratic participation and helps students understand the importance of leadership, teamwork, and responsibility. Through regular meetings and discussions, our Pupil Parliament members bring forward ideas, concerns, and suggestions from their classmates, ensuring that every voice is valued.
Key Responsibilities
Members of the Pupil Parliament engage in a variety of activities, including:
Gathering Feedback: Representatives collect opinions and ideas from their classmates, acting as a bridge between pupils and staff.
Decision-Making: Members contribute to discussions about school policies, events, and improvements, making sure that decisions reflect the needs and wants of the student body.
Organizing Events: The Pupil Parliament plays a key role in planning and implementing school events, charity drives, and initiatives that benefit the wider community.
Promoting Values: Representatives help to uphold the values of respect, responsibility, and inclusivity within the school, promoting a positive and supportive environment.
Meetings and Activities
Pupil Parliament meetings are held regularly, where members discuss ideas and plan initiatives. These sessions encourage collaboration and critical thinking, helping students to develop important skills in leadership and communication.
In addition to meetings, our Pupil Parliament members often participate in workshops and training sessions, enhancing their understanding of democratic processes and their role as young leaders.
