Where excellence and enjoyment go hand in hand

Student Council

We believe it is important to empower all pupils to develop into confident individuals who understand how our modern British political system works. Our Student Council has been drastically redesigned and updated to reflect the needs of our pupils and school.


The Student Council aims to empower all pupils, not just a select few, to have their voices heard. We aim to encourage discussion around our British Values of Democracy, The Rule of Law, Individual Liberty, Tolerance and Equality when finding out about topics like Women's Suffrage, Petitions and how laws are made.

MP Karl McCartney for Team Manor Leas

Our Local MP, Karl McCartney, recorded a message for the pupils at Manor Leas Junior Academy to discuss the importance of democracy and having their voices heard. This was in advance of our annual Prime Minister election.

On Friday 5th October 2018, a democratic election was held at Manor Leas Junior Academy. Pupils had to register to vote to have their voices heard.

The vote resulted in three Year 6 pupils taking up a leadership position within school, working alongside the pupils, teachers, Senior Leadership Team, Governors and parents in order to plan to develop and improve our school.
