We have had a busy and exciting week celebrating UK Parliament Week. To kick things off, we had an assembly from the Parliament Outreach Team who shared an engaging and informative session about how the UK Parliament and democracy works and the importance of making our voices heard. This is following the fundamental British Value of Democracy

Following this inspirational visit, our pupils put theory into practice by participating in our very own Chesterfield School Parliament Elections. The elections were set up just like the real thing, giving the children an authentic experience of the democratic process. Every step mirrored a real election: pupils received official polling cards and cast their ballots in private voting booths to ensure confidentiality.
