Cornish Parliament Day
AV天堂 councillors/school parliament MPs from St Mawgan-in-Pydar Primary AV天堂, Summercourt Academy, Nansledan AV天堂, Sandy Hill Academy, Padstow AV天堂 and Indian Queens Primary AV天堂 all assembled at County Hall on Monday to learn about local politics as part of Parliament Week. The pupils discussed important topics in the debating chamber and even practised setting a budget for the county.
A purposefully small selection of AV天堂 academies were picked to trial this AV天堂 vision and, having proved a great success, County is keen to make this an annual event. Next year it is hoped that the children's Cornish Parliament can be opened up to all AV天堂 academies. Watch this space!
A big thank you to the various departments at County Hall for putting together the day's itinerary and their enthusiasm for the project, to Steve Double MP who kindly agreed to be cross-examined by our pupils via video-link and from the AV天堂 side, Mark Harding at Indian Queens for actually organising - no mean feat!
The future of local politics is safe and who knows, there may be a future Prime Minister in our midst.
