House of Parliament

On Friday 27th September, 27 students from Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 visited the Houses of Parliament. The rainy weather did not prevent the students enjoying the sights of London before heading into Parliament, where they completed a workshop on the ‘Story of Parliament.’ Students enhanced their learning of Citizenship and History, by learning about key events such as the creation of the Magna Carta and Women’s suffrage. Once the workshop was complete, students had the opportunity to experience a guided tour of the House of Commons, the House of Lords and Westminster Hall. Students were allowed to experience the route King Charles III takes when he visits Parliament and also learnt about the role of a Lord or Baroness. Students were able to see where the Prime Minister and the Government take their seats in Parliament to govern the country. All students had a fantastic time, while learning about UK politics.
