School Parliament

We are a very important part of the school because we are the children’s voice. 

At Roecroft Lower School we aim to stimulate the children’s interest and understanding about school life. We teach children a sense of belonging to the school through decision making. Thus they learn to value their own and other people’s needs and they are better able to make their own life choices today. In our school, School Parliament makes a significant contribution to citizenship education by teaching about how we should help others. We teach children to understand that others in the world need support and we can help by holding events to raise money.

We meet with Mrs Cross, our headteacher to discuss current issues and make important decisions based on what is best for the Roecroft community. 

The School Parliament had to complete a job application to explain why they would make a good member of parliament.
