Year 11 visit to City Hall: A Day of Politics, Perspectives and Panoramic Views

Last week, our Year 11 students had the opportunity to step into the heart of London politics with an exciting and enriching visit to City Hall.

The highlight of the visit was attending Mayor’s Question Time, where students saw Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, in action, answering questions on key issues affecting Londoners today. It was a unique chance to witness local democracy in motion and gain first-hand insight into how the city is governed.

After their visit to City Hall, students enjoyed an unforgettable ride on the Emirates Cable Cars, soaring across the Thames and taking in breathtaking views of London’s skyline.

The experience gave students a fresh perspective on civic life, political leadership, and the city they call home. Many came away inspired — and perhaps with ambitions to one day take their own seat in the chamber.

A huge thank you to all the staff who made the trip possible — and well done to Year 11 for being brilliant ambassadors for our school throughout the day.
