Year 9 students visit the Parliament

On Monday 16th March, students in year 9 visited parliament for the day. They found out about the structure of British democracy as well as some of its history, including the struggle for women suffrage. After the tour, students attended a workshop and imitated the type of debate that takes place in British politics every day.
