Pupil Parliament
Why have a Pupil Parliament?
This year the school this year 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 all classes to be actively involved in the way that Springfield House 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.
