The leaders of the respected Ready Salted Party, Cheese & Onion Party, Salt & Vinegar Party and Prawn Cocktail Party, all gave persuasive speeches to the entire school, with the children casting their votes to decide the best flavour of our much-loved potato-based snack.
And after an agonising wait, it was confirmed that the Prawn Cocktail Party were victorious at the Prospect Road School.
Liam, nine, is the leader of the Prawn Cocktail Party
Amanda McCluskey, Headteacher of St Peter’s, said: “It is important for young people to feel empowered and to understand that they can make a difference in the issues they care about.
“UK Parliament Week takes place across the country and this year, more than ever, we wanted the children to feel part of a bigger movement.”
Nine-year-old Liam, who is the current leader of the winning Prawn Cocktail Party, said: "‘I enjoyed hearing everyone tell me that they were going to vote for me.
"From being a party leader, I have learnt how an election actually works."
