Big week for us last week – the Speaker’s School Council Awards was launched. This is the project that Parliament asked Asher and I to help with. The event was a real success, and the young people from Brecknock Primary School and Little Heath Secondary presented their projects brilliantly. It was also great to hear how passionate and driven the Speaker is to support education.
A good few MPs attended, as well as lots of important people in the active citizenship field. Jo Swinson MP (a passionate supporter of school councils and active citizenship) made a great video about the event – well done Jo!
And here’s the promo video for the Award:
