  • I think explaining the difference between the House of Commons and the House of Lords was something the pupils definitely didn't know, but also making it local to us with our MP mentioned brought it alive to the children.

  • All of it was great but the question and answer sections were very well led. The facilitators were superb at their jobs, patient and positive with the children and we all discovered new things!
