Our Primary Parliament is a democratically elected pupil body that ensures pupil voice is well and truly heard at St Richard Reynolds. The Primary Parliament forms part of the College Parliament and once a half term meets with Parliamentarians from across the College.
The Pupil Parliament takes an active role within the school, raising issues and ideas of their peers, discussing them at the Pupil Parliament meetings and reporting back to their class. The pupils help to ensure that St Richard Reynolds is a safe and happy environment for pupils to learn in, making a difference for the better.
The Pupil Parliament are elected by their peers in September and their term of office is for one academic year. They meet regularly with Miss Arnold to voice their thoughts, raise their concerns and put their faith into action.
