Year 12 Politics had a wonderful day out at The Houses of Parliament and The Supreme Court. We also were lucky enough to watch the rehearsal for Trooping the Colour on The Mall with a range of musical and equestrian talents on display
The students said: This was a truly wonderful experience for all staff and students involved really one for the ages. From when we disembarked to Parliament it was remarkable as all students were really buzzing with anticipation a feeling in which stayed constant throughout the whole trip. Once we arrived, we were met by a wonderful tour guide in which she spoke about the great history of Parliament and her own personal experiences in which was very valuable information for all students. She took us through the House of Commons and explained thoroughly on how the house is structure.

To then finish, our intelligent tour guide then took us to explore more about the UK political history, where we saw the Winston Churchill statue. This really had an positive impact on our Politics course. It introduced to us a lot of new facts plus gave us empirical evidence in which we were able to internalise and use towards our studies. Next, we embarked on our journey towards the Supreme Court in which we were met by our next tour guide. In which he was also very wonderful. He was amazing enough to present us the opportunity to witness a live case which was very inspiring to the students. He then guided our collective to observe not one but two empty courtrooms in which he further broadened our knowledge by ending the day with the Supreme Courts exciting exhibition.
Our collective then finally ended the lovely day by going sightseeing in which we observed many marvellous monuments like the Big Ben, Trafalgar square and the new Banksy statue. Really a wonderful experience in which I believe I can talk for all when I say it was an experience we would not swap for.
