Pupil Voice

Our Pupil Parliament.

At Bligh, we are proud to have pupil representatives who promote our school vision and ethos within school and within our local community.

Our pupil parliament members are elected annually by their peers and are thus encouraged to voice the opinions and ideas of their fellow pupils, to promote a school community which fosters curiosity and develops school-wide collaboration. 

Meetings are held regularly and the minutes distributed through out the school including directly to Mr. Markham.

Our pupil parliament aims to encourage:

  • Representation of our school ethos and values
  • A safe, happy and fair learning environment
  • A structured opportunity for pupils to learn problem-solving skills
  • Responsibility towards the school and our local community
