Dear Parents and Carers

It was a real pleasure to see our Year 12 Politics, Law and Economics students engaging so thoughtfully with local Labour MP Matt Western this week, discussing current affairs and issues that matter to them. Students confidently challenged him on topics such as a wealth tax, the voting age, and immigration, while also exploring his own motivations for entering politics. There were lighter moments too – when Matt’s phone kept pinging, students jokingly wondered whether Keir was calling with news of a new role as Health Secretary! The event was organised and chaired by the President of the Politics Society, Muskaan Bains who is a fantastic example of student leadership in action. At a time when politics can feel fast-moving and uncertain, it is encouraging to see young people making these connections and engaging so actively. As our Year 13 students mark their final day today, I am confident they will go on to be true changemakers in the world beyond school.

Kind regards

Mrs Curtis
