General Election 2024.

Continuing our political talks programme, we were fortunate to have Baroness Parminter (Lib Dem) today. Our students asked her a range of questions, with a special focus on environmental issues.

On Thursday 29 February, we will be welcoming Baroness Parminter of Godalming to deliver a talk on the politics of climate change. This talk will take place at 4:30pm in the Old ibrary and will finish at approximately 5:30pm, with parking available on the main playground.

Our students questioned Lord Heseltine on a wide-range of issues. He is still undecided about who to support at the next general election.

Our Politics students are planning questions for our talk with Lord Michael Heseltine on Thursday. What an opportunity to hear his views. We have already researched his assessment of Margaret Thatcher: bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07…

Thanks to @BL_EcclesCentre for organising the US Politics Conference. Our students are listening to academics and two former members of the US Congress. A year today, the USA will be voting in presidential elections.

Thanks to all the students on the USA 2023 trip - you were a great group. A big thank you to Mr Tennant and Mrs Cline. Two very special teachers, who took great care of all.

Just about to board our coach. Should be back for 8.30.

Morning at Arlington Cemetery. Now the trip is ending as we board our flight back to Heathrow.

Amazing tours of US Supreme Court and Congress. Directly relevant for A Level Politics.

Busy morning in DC.

Lots of smiles from students and teachers as we learn about US Politics and History.

Glorious weather as we toured Washington DC.

An incredible day to be at the UN building.
