Felpham Community College visit the Houses of Parliament!
On Thursday 4th December, 22 Felpham Community College students visited the Houses of Parliament and met with Ms Alison Griffiths, MP for Bognor and Littlehampton.
Students from the FCC Student Council were chosen to attend the trip, as they play an active part with student voice at Felpham and helping to make a difference with the school and local community.
Students, from years 7-10 and also year 13, toured Parliament, including seeing live debates in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords. They also took part in an interactive workshop looking at the skills needed for writing a petition, and competed against each other to find the best idea to take forward. They finished the trip with a question and answer session with Ms Griffiths, who commented on what excellent, well-informed questions FCC students had.
Mr Summers, Assistant Headteacher at Felpham Community College commented: “Students were impressed with the tour, seeing the different buildings, the history, and learning about how Parliament works. We were there the same day as the President of Germany! It was great to meet Ms Griffiths again and our students had some good questions about SEN provision in our area. Our students were a credit to FCC. This is the second time we have done this trip and both groups of students have really enjoyed it.”
