School Parliament
The leaders of tomorrow…
Horsforth School feels passionately about ensuring our students have a voice; and, importantly ensuring that it is heard. This is why we have a democratic Student Parliament which allows our students to influence school life and also learn and understand about British Politics and the British Values for which it is built upon.
Horsforth students represent the student voice through six key areas that centre around the Horsforth Character Pillars, we want all students to embody Respect, Wellbeing, Participation, Aspiration, Resilience, and Responsibility.
Student Parliament representatives have been successfully selected following an application process which has demonstrated they are proactive and willing to engage with a school leadership responsibility.
Members meet once a month with a range of topics and opportunities on offer: ideas for improving the school, planning fundraising initiatives, taking part in leadership workshops (most recently as part of the West Yorkshire Youth Commission), and collaborating with peers on important issues.
Horsforth School is intent on giving opportunity and achievement to all and through the School Parliament we are ensuring that every student has a voice.
