UK Children's Parliament 2021

Earlier this year the Debating Team met to draft some ideas for a debate on climate change. Our school was then selected to send a representative from our pupil community to attend the 2021 online UK Children's Parliament, where they would representative our school and local constituency in an online video debate with hundreds of children from across the UK.

Can you spot our school member from this screenshot?!



Also the event created a World Record for the largest Children's Parliament ever hosted! 

For more information on the event see the Daily Express article that was published.


Feedback from the even was also shared with some UK delegates at the COP26 summit; here some of the points our children wanted shared with the delegates.
