Students got the chance to cast their vote today after a week of election themed activities in tutor time and assemblies. It was great to see so many at the ballot box and even more reassuring that students had given careful consideration to which way they would vote.
India (Y7) said voting was important, “as it gave the people a voice”.
Oliver (Y7) felt that voting was essential, “as our individual opinions could make a difference nationally”.
Owen (Y10) said, “that it was important to take an active part in democracy”.
