Pupil Parliament

British Values at Hill Top Academy

Hill Top Academy promotes and upholds the British Values of Democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance. 

An understanding of democracy is developed through our academy’s Pupil Parliament made up of key stage 2 children. Children had to apply for positions within parliament. Those that applied for head ambassador and deputy ambassador then gave a presentation during a whole school assembly. Following a whole school vote, members were the elected to Pupil Parliament. Within our Pupil Parliament, MPs were each given a role within a team which include: health and safety team, achievement team, health and well-being team, secretary, accountants, sports reporters, events team, eco team, head ambassador and deputy ambassador.
