On Monday 23 January, the newly elected school councillors from Cassiobury Junior School were invited to Parliament by Watford MP Richard Harrington.
Pupils from years 3-6 were given a tour by Richard and they learnt about Westminster Hall, St Stephen’s Hall, Central Lobby, the Royal Gallery, Robing Room, saw the Queen’s Throne in the House of Lords Chamber and the Chamber of the Commons.
They were also given the opportunity to quiz him on what it's like to be an MP, how he got into politics, local issues and national policy.
Speaking about Cassiobury's visit, Richard said: “ Thanks to the teachers for organising the trip to Parliament. It was great to meet the pupils and I was very impressed by some of their questions! If your school would like to come up to London for a tour, please get in touch.’
