Introducing our new Westacre pupil parliament 2026 - 2027

 

Our Voice, Our School, Our Parliament

Pupil parliament:

Our School Parliament gives pupils a voice in shaping life at Westacre. It enables them to represent their peers, share ideas and work with staff to improve our school. Through this, pupils develop leadership, responsibility and an understanding of democracy, helping us make Westacre better together.
