What is Learn with the Lords Online?
A 45-minute online Q&A session where your young people, aged 7-18, put their questions to a member of the House of Lords.
The session will bring UK Parliament to life for your students, and help them develop their understanding of the vital role of the House of Lords.

A really positive, enriching experience which added to our cultural capital.
Bernadette, The English Martyrs Catholic School -
The Baroness provided excellent insight, she answered all student questions and maintained their interest throughout. It was a very enjoyable and informative session.
Leanne, Stockton Riverside College -
The students had a memorable experience interacting with a member of the House of Lords. I definitely recommend this to other schools.
