This year’s theme was ‘Empowering the Next Generation’, something we feel strongly about at Learn-AT, so it was great to welcome members of school councils from across our Trust who represent their peers and input ideas into decisions that impact them. 

Children learnt about what a democracy is, why they are important and how our local and national governments work. They also found out who the local MPs are in our area.

Steve Roddy, Learn-AT's Director of Education, said “It was a pleasure to bring the school councils together to celebrate democracy and to think about how we can take on the challenge of ‘Empowering the Next Generation”
