Pupil Parliament

Welcome to our Pupil Parliament!

An important part of our school is our ‘Pupil Parliament’.  Our ‘Prime Minister’, Mrs Sandhu, coordinates the meetings and oversees the activities.

Pupil Parliament helps the children to learn about democracy and British Values, as they all vote for their class representatives. The elected pupils represent the school, talk about learning and about things they would like to improve. Each pupil who is elected to the Pupil Parliament makes a promise to adhere to our School Charter.

They also meet visitors and help show people around our amazing school.

Pupil Parliament 2023-2024

School Council

Our school council at Shobnall Primary & Nursery School is made up of two representatives from each class from Reception to Year 6. The children are selected from an annual vote by their classmates. We believe that this aims to support the practice of democracy within our school environment. Our school councillors are good role models, listeners and communicators.

At Shobnall Primary & Nursery School, we believe our pupils are the most important part of school life and we are committed to hearing their views, to ensure all our pupils are happy, successful learners.

The school council have regularly meetings run by the ‘Secretary of State’, Mrs Sandhu to discuss any issues raised or possible projects to explore, both at school and within our local community, to continue to make Shobnall Primary & Nursery School a happy place. We think it is important that we listen to our classmate’s suggestions and make positive changes.

Anti-Bullying Ambassadors

Each class from Reception to Year 6 elects a representative to be their Anti-Bullying Ambassador.  They meet regularly to discuss how to further develop our anti-bullying work in school and have regular meetings run by the ‘Secretary of State’, Mrs Farrington.

We can all play a part in helping keep children safe from bullying and cyberbullying – whether it’s happening at school, at home or online. The Anti-Bullying Ambassadors help coordinate Anti-Bullying Week each year in school and are dedicated to upholding the anti-bullying message.
