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.

Why have a Pupil Parliament?
Over the past 8 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.
How does the Pupil Parliament work?
Pupil Parliament is divided into 4 sub-committees which regularly meet their teams to discuss issues raised by their classes and other important areas that they want to promote and improve.
At the end of each Pupil Parliament meeting, each sub-committee reflect on the actions and impact towards their outcomes.

Last year...
Our main focus last year was to:
Improve parking outside of the school by encouraging pupils to walk to school where they can or park further away and walk a proportion of the journey. We carried out traffic patrol every Friday morning to encourage parents to drive and park safely.
Raise money for charities through a range of events such as MacMillan coffee morning, Children in Need, Comic relief.
