Pupil Parliament
Welcome to the Pupil Parliament page
Our Pupil Parliament will be made up of one member from each class within our school alongside our Head Boy and Girl and their two Vices. We will have a total of 20 members of the Pupil Parliament.
In September, class representatives made their speeches through videos or saying their speech to their class. Each classroom had a voting station so their peers could vote for their chosen representative.
Head Boy/Girl and their Vices had to perform their speech in the hall to explain why they would be amazing for the role. Senior Leadership looked through all of the applications and made the important decision.
Our Pupil Parliament members for 2025-26 are:
Head boy - Ali
Head girl - Olivia
Deputies - Harrison and Devyn
Year 3: Millie, Melanie, Evalyn, Phoebe
Year 4: Ty, Eli, Ayah, Phoebe
Year 5: Husnaa, Ayishnaa, Zachary, Georgia
Year 6: Jess, Ava, George, Advik
Why have a Pupil Parliament?
Over the past 10 years, Bedgrove Junior School Class Councils has evolved to a vibrant and successful Pupil Parliament. Its design promotes pupil leadership opportunities and enables children to develop valuable communication, organisation and debating skills through key roles, responsibilities and new experiences.
The Pupil Parliament structure provides opportunities for more than four hundred and eighty pupils from Year 3 to 6 to be actively involved in the way that Bedgrove Junior School is run. Pupil Parliament benefits all pupils, staff and parents and the wider community because it provides opportunities for pupils to voice their opinions as well as influence the decisions that are made on their behalf. Pupils relish the opportunity to become a greater part of school life, enjoy making their voices heard and seeing the results of their decisions.
What are the aims of Pupil Parliament?
Represent all pupils at Bedgrove Junior School
Take time to listen to all pupils and communicate their views
Feedback to pupils about what happened about their views
Action decisions that have been made or explain why they can't happen.
Pupil Parliament voting day - Thursday 18th September 2025
Over the week, children read their speeches to their class to give their reasons for why they should be voted as the Pupil Parliament member for the class. On voting day, children went to the school poling station to cast their votes. The child with the majority of votes was elected as the Pupil Parliament representative.
