Pupil Parliament

Introducing Our Newly Elected Pupil Parliament!

At Nightingale Primary, our Pupil Parliament fosters leadership opportunities, empowering children to develop essential communication and decision-making skills. This platform benefits pupils and the entire school community by giving students a voice in critical decisions that shape their learning experience. Pupils take pride in playing an active role in school life and enjoy making their opinions heard.

What are the committees?

  • Chairperson – Oversees the Pupil Parliament, ensuring tasks are completed effectively and on time.

  • Minister for Behaviour – Promotes positive behaviour across the school, tracks house points, and supports restorative sessions when needed.

  • Minister for the Environment – Focuses on creating an inviting and sustainable learning environment, with a major goal this year of developing our Forest School area.

  • Minister for Sport – Assists Mr. Rogerson in managing the sports leaders and organising and leading school sporting events.

  • Minister for Fundraising – Works alongside Lisa Risby to plan and coordinate yearly fundraising events.

This year, we are excited to introduce two new roles within the Pupil Parliament:

  • Minister for Pupil Health and Well-being – Collaborates with Mrs. Darcy to promote the health and well-being of all students.

  • Minister for the Community: This position focuses on strengthening our school’s community ties, supporting initiatives related to our school values and rights, and working with Lisa R. to foster strong links within the local area.
