On Thursday, members of the school council travelled to London with Mrs Evett-Collins and Mr Thomas for an exciting trip to the Houses of Parliament! During their visit the children got to explore the historic building, learnt more about how laws are made and understood the importance of having a voice in their community - they even travelled by Clipper on the River Thames! A huge well done to our councillors for representing our school so proudly - we have some future leaders in the making! #UKPW #housesofparliament #schoolcouncil #HBJS
