Last week, Miss Lees went to London to take part in the prestigious UK Parliament Teacher Ambassador programme at the Palace of Westminster. The programme consisted of tours around the Parliamentary estate, meeting Members of the House of Commons and House of Lords to learn about their work, as well as from staff based behind the scenes who help keep our democracy running. This year the programme received over 500 applications from teachers all across the UK, and Miss Lees was selected to be part of a cohort of 65 teachers.
Miss Lees will be putting this training, expertise and resources to use in the next academic year, aiming to improve political provision and student engagement at Marden and work towards accreditation for the school.
With the voting age being lowered to 16 in the near future, it has never been more pertinent for our students to develop a greater understanding of British democracy and our political system and we look forward to seeing how Miss Lees will lead on developing this here at Marden.
