ANDREW MITCHELL VISIT

It was a pleasure to welcome the Right Honourable Andrew Mitchell MP, Minister of State in Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office to our School on Friday 2nd December to a discussion with Year 7 pupils about their PSHE and Citizenship curriculum on ‘International Development.

It was moving to hear about his recent trip to Somalia. There were some excellent questions raised from Year 7 and the Sixth Form and a very interesting discussion ensued about resilience to climate change, countering terrorism, educating women, responding to hunger, and how we here in the UK can effect change globally. As you can see from the photos, students were captivated by Andrew's wealth of experience and breadth of knowledge - a brilliant learning opportunity!
