Pupil Ministries
At Moorlands Junior School, our Ministires from part of our wider Pupil Parliament Structure. They give pupils meaningful leadership opportunities and allow them to influence how the school is run. Through these roles, pupils develop confidence, communication skills, teamwork and a strong sense of responsibility. Each Ministry focuses on a key area of school life, ensuring that pupil voice is central to decision-making and school improvement.
Ministry of Wellbeing and Mental Health

They promote Anti‑Bullying Week, lead awareness campaigns and help pupils understand how to access support when they need it.

They also explore ways to support the wider community in becoming more environmentally aware.
