Our 6th Form Social Science students took part in a workshop at the University of East London last Friday, April 22.

East Ham MP Stephen Timms was there to debate major political issues with our pupils. Topics under discussion were democracy, sovereignty and the freedom of movement from a range of political perspectives.

Mr Timms said he was very impressed with the university for engaging teenagers with the political debates and all its issues surrounding Brexit and the referendum.

The workshop was organised as part of UEL’s aim to generate interest in current affairs.

Ms Bunting went along and organised some students to be interviewed  afterwards by local television reporters from London Live who wanted to know their opinions on the subject.
