Pupil Parliament

Our Pupil Parliament is made up of our Head Pupils, Deputy Head Pupils and Parliament members from across the school.

Our Year 6 pupils are able to apply for the roles of Head and Deputy Head Pupils. The Head and Deputy Head Pupils apply for their roles by writing a letter of application or creating a presentation for Mrs Youngman, Miss Marsh and Mrs Russell. This is followed up with short interviews with each applicant to find out about their skills, qualities and ideas to make Thameside even better. The children really enjoyed the process and were all delighted with their new roles!

Children in Years 2-5 give a short speech to their classes about why they feel they would be a good Pupil Parliament member and how they would represent the needs of their class (children can also apply via creating a letter, picture of presentation if they wish). Classes then vote for two Parliament members from each class - a great example of democracy! This democratic process will also happen later in the year in Year 1 and Year 1 members will join our Pupil Parliament in the Summer term.  

Please check back in September to see who holds the following roles for 2025-2026:

Head Pupils - 

Deputy Head Pupils - 

Sports and Play Leader Captain - 

Lead Peer Mentor -

Our Head Pupils also sit on the Cambrian Learning Trust Pupil Parliament, alongside representatives from the other Cambrian Primary and Secondary schools.   At meetings, wider community projects are discussed and representatives regularly meet with local MPs to talk about how they can work in partnership to support improvements and new projects in the local community.
