On Monday 38 of our Year 12 Politics students travelled to London to enjoy a tour and workshop in Parliament, followed by a Q&A with Cameron Thomas MP. The tour included walking through the House of Commons, learning about the history of Parliament, and people spotting (we saw Max Wilkinson, Lindsay Hoyle, Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn). Cameron spoke to the students about the realities of being an MP, his priorities for legislation and difficulties with work-life balance.

Students visited the Supreme Court, which we are currently studying in class, to learn about the separation of powers and how the court was established. The weather was wonderful, and a great day was had by all. Our thanks to Cameron and all the staff in Parliament who made the visit so enjoyable.
