Our Year 6 School Leaders had the fantastic opportunity to take part in the Pupil Parliament at the University of Warwick on 9th June.

Joining more than 100 pupils from schools across Coventry, they took part in workshops and discussions focused on mental health and wellbeing, aspirations and future champions, and youth leadership and empowerment. The event gave young people a platform to share their views on issues that matter to them and contribute ideas that can help shape the future of their city.

We are incredibly proud of how confidently and thoughtfully our School Leaders represented Frederick Bird, demonstrating the values of leadership, respect and ambition throughout the day.
