History and Politics Trip to London

All of our Lower Sixth Historians and Politicians travelled to London and had a fascinating time visiting the Houses of Parliament.

They stood inside both the House of Commons and the House of Lords and informative guides told us about the functioning of law-making and the quirky eccentricities of our political system.

The historians then went off to visit the Cabinet War Rooms, which blended in very well with their A Level studies; they saw a vast array of artefacts and felt the wartime claustrophobia of being underground at the heart of operations.

Meanwhile, the politics students had a tour of the area and saw Downing Street, ending up at the Supreme Court. It was a great day out and much was learnt.
