Furthermore, the students asked a variety of questions to the MP to develop their knowledge and understanding of politics and the role of an MP.

Mr Wilson; Assistant Principal for Personal Development commented; We were delighted to welcome back Debbie Abrahams MP once again to our Academy. Debbie has always been a strong advocate of supporting our students in terms of developing their knowledge and understanding of politics and inspiring them to become active citizens through supporting and participating in community events.
