The Election Process
Pupils in Year 3 to Year 6 were able to apply to become a member of the Tower Road Academy School Parliament. There were a huge number of applications! After much thought and consideration, a selection of 32 candidates were shortlisted. These candidates then campaigned and gave speeches to persuade others to vote for them.
