School Elections

We were delighted to welcome BBC Somerset to the hustings for our school general election yesterday, as five pupils battled it out on behalf of their chosen political party. Very well done to Anton, Ronnie, Ruby, Evie and Sebastian for delivering thoughtful and passionate responses to questions on everything from the economy and education to Brexit and the NHS – and well done to the winner, Anton’s Green Party, with 44% of the overall vote. “I am really pleased to have won and hope this shows how engaged young people are with the environment,” he said this morning. Well done, Anton, and many thanks to the mastermind behind it all, our very own Fiona Bruce, Mr Patrick!
