On Monday 1st July, a small group of student leaders and teachers attended the Citizens UK debate at the Central Westminster Hall. Key speakers included Deputy Labour Leader, Angela Rayner, Conservative MP for Richmond Park, Sara Gezdari and Liberal Democrats representative, Lord Richard Newby.

Citizens UK (a community organisation that creates change for people in the UK) will be working with Saint Cecilia’s to further ‘Courageous Advocacy’ with our pupils and student leaders so that they not only engage with school-focused concerns but also with wider local and national concerns including housing and homelessness, climate justice, citizenship and the refugee crisis, mental health support in schools, and proper wages and work conditions.
