School Parliament

Welcome to our School Parliament. It is run by a Parliament Leadership Team consisting of our Year 6 pupils who have been elected by all pupils. These elected children make changes and represent the pupil voice in our school and help us make changes based on the needs identified by the children.

'Pupils make a difference in this school.' SIAMS report, Autumn 2024

The Parliament consists of five ministries: Sports, Eco, Charity, Values Ambassadors and Learning Detectives.

At the start of each new academic year, speeches are made in front of the school by candidates who wish to be considered to fulfill the role of Prime Minister.

Please meet out two new Co-Prime Ministers for 2025-2026:

This is their report after chairing the first whole school parliament meeting this year:

Whole School Parliament Meeting - Autumn 2025

On the 23^rd of October, we held our first parliament meeting where we discussed with each ministry their action plans. We started with Charity who shared that they were hoping to achieve:

A sponsored walk challenge where each class will walk the perimeter of Gloucester. This will be a joint fund with, Diabetes UK and Allsorts
A cake sale to raise money for our school
Raise money for Comic Relief Red Nose day

As Prime ministers we thought these were great ideas to help our school with fundraising.

Eco Committee were next:

Eco have some green ideas to help our school be more environmentally friendly, they are :

To be awarded The Green Flag,
To open time for bird watching
To look after local wildlife and give bugs a home

We think these ideas are really going to have an impact on the environment.

Next up were our Values Ambassadors! Our Value Ambassadors have said they really want to:

Understand pupils’ opinions of worship.
They also want to get the children involved in acting out the stories during worship.
They think it could be educational to go on more RE themed trips, which is not only fun but gives our students a better understanding about different religion.

These are some incredible religious ideas to help our spiritual understanding.

Moving on, Sports Ministry were next:

Sports [Led by year 5 and 6] would like to invest in a new sandpit cover, so our sandpit can become less of a litter tray and more of a sports activity.
They would also like to update our sports cupboard by keeping it organised and making sure equipment is in reach, because it can get very messy.
Finally, they have suggested to have a rota for lunch time activities with Atlas and stations [Led by themselves] for KS1.

All of these ideas can ensure all of our students are active and fit!

Our last ministry to report was Learning Detectives.

Our Learning Detectives have mastered up some truly amazing ideas to boost our curriculum

These are:

Additional curriculum characters
To rename classes [ 1-6]
To introduce soft toy mascots for our Bussage Learning Powers which will be given to a new class each term
Our detectives have shared that they would like each class to be awarded for who best shows the Learning Power with stickers and certificates.

As Prime Ministers, we think each ministry has a strong action plan and we can’t wait to see the ideas take place!
