Pupil Parliament

At Nottingham Academy we believe that children and young people need to be active participants in their own education and to feel that their opinions will be heard. We seek ways to listen to the views of our pupils and involve them in decision-making so that they are engaged as partners in the life of the Academy. The Pupil Parliament has been set up to develop the ways in which pupils can make a positive contribution to the Academy environment and ethos but also broaden the experiences and wider development of our young people.

Pupil Parliament will:

  • Be a positive forum
  • Provide an opportunity for all pupils to be heard
  • Provide a forum for the leadership of the Academy to listen to the pupil’s opinions
  • Aid communication throughout the Academy
  • Build the pupils confidence and self-esteem
  • Encourage the pupils to be active citizens
  • Provide all pupils with a democratic model

From September 2018, The Pupil Parliament will supersede all current student council models and become an elected body of pupils with specific roles and responsibilities. The Pupil Parliament will organise the recruitment of their own members, using a voting system that involves all pupils of the academy, ensuring representation of all year groups. Every class will elect at least one Tutor Councillor.

Pupil Parliament membership will consist of:

  • Two members of staff, one of which will be a senior leader
  • A Parliamentary chair of the meeting
  • Tutor Councillors
  • Environment Minister
  • Community Minister
  • Obligations Minister
  • First Ministers and Deputies.

Every tutor group will hold a class council on a half termly basis. This is an opportunity for Tutor councillors to discuss the Pupil Parliament agenda, and to gather feedback.
