On Tuesday 1st July,  Miss LeDain, Miss Cunningham and Miss Danaher took 45 Year 10 students to the Houses of Parliament on what was the hottest day of the year! 

Luckily the coach had air conditioning and so students and staff remained cool in the 33 degree heat. Once we arrived at Parliament, we had an early lunch in the shade on the green before going through the airport style security to enter the building. We then embarked on a tour of Parliament and we were lucky enough to watch the Chancellor speak in a debate from the public viewing gallery.

After the tour students took part in a workshop and our MP for Harlow, Chris Vince, came to speak to us about his role and to answer our questions. 

At the end of the session students and staff were happy to get back onto the air-conditioned coach and to cool down!

 Considering the extreme weather we all had a good day and Miss LeDain thought all the students looked very smart.
