Your vote counts!

On the 23rd of June a special guest came into our school, her name was Gillian Bell. She is part of the Parliamentary Education Service and was able to explain lots about how parliament is run. We ordered key events in history and learnt about the struggle to have the vote that many have endured over time. We also debated as to whether the voting age should be lowered to 16 - with many surprising responses and views! We decided to devise a school charter about the rights that we believe people should have today following our workshop.
