Here at Gunthorpe, we value Pupil Voice.  A brilliant and effective way of ensuring that the thoughts and opinions of the children in school are heard, is by electing members of 'Pupil Parliament'.

Each year, children are voted for by their peers.  The elected children take on the role of being spokespeople for their class.

Members of Pupil Parliament get together with members of staff throughout the year to discuss various topics to ensure that children are well supported, happy and thriving members of our school community.

In addition, our Year 6 representatives also take part in the Rushcliffe Schools Pupil Parliament events. These are held termly at County Hall, debates include:

Should children have homework?

Which school pudding is the best?

Should parents be fined for taking term time holidays?

We often have guest speakers. Past speakers have included MPs, Olympians and environmentalists.
