Student Leadership
At Craven Primary Academy, our pupils play a highly important role in the running of our academy. There are many roles and responsibilities that are undertaken by our pupils that are key to the day to day running of the academy, as well as decisions that are made by them in partnership with the teachers, SLT and AAB.
Here you can find out about all of the roles and responsibilities around the academy and who hold these roles this academic year.
Pupil Parliament
Our School Council is based on a whole school approach. It is a partnership between Class Ministers, Pupil Parliament, teachers, SLT and the AAB. We work together to make our school a safe and happy place where we can all achieve our best.
Every class has a meeting where children share their ideas and suggestions. The two class elected representatives bring the important issues to Pupil Parliament meetings, which are held regularly. Suggestions are put forward to the SLT and the AAB.
What are the qualities of a Class Minister?
- a good listener
- committed
- trustworthy
- helpful
- honest
