YEAR 12 HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT AND SUPREME COURT TRIP

This half term the Politics department took a group of Year 12s to the Houses of Parliament and the UK Supreme Court. Students were toured around the Houses of Parliament and had the pleasure of spotting many familiar faces throughout. During their visit they were able to gain further insight into the workings of the Commons and Lords alongside running their own elections to test the most representative electoral system.

This was followed by a brilliant tour of the UK Supreme Court. The Supreme Court provided inspiration for our students aspiring for a career in the legal profession as they were able to sit in on a hearing and witness the Supreme Court justices at work. For the students studying Politics at A Level, this provided excellent evidence to add to their future essays!
