Alison McGovern visit 13th December 2024
Year 10 learned about democracy in the autumn term. As part of this they are encouraged to write to MPs and councillors to make their voice heard. Alison McGovern and Angela Eagle have responded and asked to come and visit our school.
On Friday 13th December Alison McGovern MP and a member of her team, Jay Glover, visited our school during Period 5. All students were invited and a group of Year 10s and 11s joined her in the Learning for Life room.
Alison and her colleague, Jay Glover talked about their careers and how they came to be in the work they are.
Alison responded to students letters and engaged in conversation about students’ concerns.
The discussion was around concerns for their own and other young people’s personal safety, understanding in schools of student's mental health difficulties, housing, domestic violence and the cost of living.
Our students were really impressive in the way they spoke on behalf of themselves and others. We were very proud of them.
