Year 10 Citizenship Trip – Exploring Civic Life in London

Last Thursday, our Year 10 students enjoyed an enriching Citizenship trip to London’s City Hall, followed by a ride on the Emirates Air Line cable cars.

During their visit to City Hall, pupils took part in an educational session focused on civic responsibility and London’s governance. They explored the roles of the Mayor of London and the London Assembly, learned about political viewpoints, and gained insight into the policy-making process that shapes the capital. These sessions are a key part of the broader citizenship education curriculum, helping students better understand how democracy functions at a local level.

To round off the day, pupils enjoyed spectacular views of London from the cable cars — the perfect way to reflect on what they had learned while seeing the city from above.

Well done to all involved for representing the school so well and making the most of this valuable learning experience!
