8 Year 10 pupils attended a Climate Change Rally in London this week. During the visit, they met the three Newcastle City MPs (Catherine McKinnell, Nick Brown and Chi Onwurah) and were able to lobby them on behalf of CAFOD on the importance of addressing climate change to preserve the future of the planet.  The students enjoyed a tour of the Houses of Parliament, and were invited onto the balcony at Westminster, on the banks of the Thames, to talk over the issue with Nick Brown.  And, as a bonus, and the highlight of their day, the students got their picture taken with Ed Miliband in Westminster Hall!  A great day out was had by all and the pupils were an absolute credit to their Year group and the entire school.
