Gareth Johnson MP Visit

The Leigh Academy welcomed Gareth Johnson MP to our Lecture Theatre on Friday 18th November for a question and answer session with 48 students.

Student Representatives quizzed the MP on a range of questions, including reasons why he decided to become an MP and what being an MP was like. Other students who study IB Global Politics were able to ask specific questions on particular expert issues, which was really important to them as part of their coursework demands that they engage with real politicians and political groups.

As you can imagine, this was a great success for the students who reported feeling valued and further interested in how politics really works.
