School Council 2024-2025
Inner South Youth Summit @ Leeds Civic Hall
5/2/2025
Today, your Councillors were invited to attend the Inner South Youth Summit at Leeds Civic Hall. Once they arrived, they were greeted by 3 of their local Councillors, Wayne Dixon, Rob Chesterfield and Emma Pogson-Golden.
They took part in a Q&A session where each school were able to put a question to all the Councillors that were there.
The children were taught about democracy and what that looks like across Leeds. They then took part in a decision making activity, where they had to choose from lots of different events, clubs and activities, they would like to introduce to their local area. They had a budget and had to prioritise, discuss and then agree on where the money should be spent.
After this, everyone went in to the chambers to meet the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Abigail Marshall Katung and were able to ask her questions. Estelle, our Year 6 Councillor, asked, 'Who inspired you to become Mayor?' She replied, 'It was a dear friend of mine, she told me I could do it and that I should do it. It was also with all the support of my fellow councillors and their encouragement.'
To finish their visit, they were all presented with a gift bag and certificate from the Lord Mayor. It was a wonderful and inspiring morning and your Councillors did you all PROUD!

House's of Parliament Trip
13/01/2025
We took your elected School Councillors to visit the Houses of Parliament in London this week. The councillors from Holy Family also joined us which was a wonderful way for them to meet and make new friends, whilst enjoying this experience. They were shown around the Palace by their guide, who explained lots about the history of the castle and the past and present members of parliament. They also got to enter through the King's own private entrance! We, unfortunately, weren't allowed to take any photos of this or any areas inside Parliament except in Westminster Hall.
The children were shown a video all about the Story of Parliament, how it started and how it has shaped our country, to how it is run today. This also included the struggles that women faced and how they didn't give up on making sure ALL women were seen, heard and valued! The children then enjoyed food at Pizza Express, some sight seeing, including a walk down the Mall towards Buckingham Palace and a little souvenir shopping.
It was a very long day but all the children were amazingly well behaved and made us so proud! Thank you Councillors!
