We are delighted to once again be offering students in year 8 the opportunity to attend a residential trip to London to investigate democracy and British values. This trip has ran successfully for the past three years promoting the British values of democracy, tolerance, rule of law and respect.

One of the main events of the trip is a visit to the Houses of Parliament where students will undertake a debating workshop and have a tour before meeting our local MP. This, and the rest of the trip will provide students with the opportunity to develop their understanding of life in Modern Britain. Other exciting experiences include a visit and tour of a Mosque, a London West End show – this year Mamma Mia, exploring the world of work at Kidzania and finally the opportunity to experience a 360° view of London with a trip to the 72^nd floor of Europe’s tallest building – the Shard!

Liskeard School Sixth Form have been working closely with Exeter University to increase the political interest of young people and to improve their understanding of our political system. We have delivered a series of activities which has also involved Skyping the House of Lords and inviting local councillors and members of parliament in for a Q&A session.

Gill Prichard, Director of Sixth Form, said, “This has been a really interesting project. Both staff and students have really enjoyed looking at various aspects of politics.”

Students posed a series of questions to the Deputy Speaker Lord McFall when he spoke to us via the internet from his chambers. We also hosted a lively debate with local councillors and our MP Sheryll Murray.
