October session

Schools' Parliament Visit to Liverpool Hope University - October 2025

The children visited Liverpool Hope University for the first meeting of Schools' Parliament. They discussed Kindness and Fairness, in and out of school, and had the opportunity to create a kindness monster who had a super power for spreading kindness. They then received a talk from a member of the City Council on anti-racism in relation to asylum seekers.

The next meeting will take place in November at the Town Hall. Look out for more for more photographs as we continue to share our experiences with you.

June's session

We attended our final Liverpool Schools’ Parliament session for this school year. The feedback provided by the students in our previous meetings has been invaluable to the local council and Child Friendly City team. They were able to share an update with us about what our involvement has influenced. 

As well as this, we looked forward to the future of Liverpool Schools’ Parliament and helped to suggest topics to be covered in meetings in the next academic year.

April's session

Our Schools' Parliament members had their final meeting on Wednesday at the Town Hall. We thought about PLACE and what could make our future happier and healthier #YoungVoicesBigIdeas Our ideas will be used for an upcoming exhibition at the Museum of Liverpool in October, later this year.

March's session

Emmaus Schools' Parliament members met with Paul Olubayo, Liverpool's Race Equality Officer for education at the Town Hall on Monday. We explored 'racism and belonging' in relation to our school & city. It was great to talk about such important issues and to consider how we can treat each other fairly.

February's session

Our Schools' Parliament members met at Liverpool Town Hall with Liverpool City Council leader Cllr Liam Robinson and Cllr Lila Bennett to discuss children's mental health in schools and around our city. It was great to have our voices heard.

January's session

It was great to be back in Liverpool Town Hall for the Liverpool Schools' Parliament session. Summer, Ace, Anna and Max reflected on "What does education mean to you?" Lots of super discussion between schools and a chance to have our voices heard. We can't wait for next month's session!

Child Friendly City (CFC), which organises the Liverpool Schools' Parliament, has recently relaunched this scheme and we have chosen our four representatives, Anna, Max, Summer and Ace. We look forward to our first meeting with Schools' Parliament members from other schools around the city. This will be held in Liverpool's Town Hall in January 2024.
