Visits

45 sixth form students and staff visited the European Parliament in Brussels on 4 December as guests of Catherine Bearder MEP. As well as meeting Catherine, they also met Bill Newton Dunn, MEP for the East Midlands. They asked questions about and discussed at length a number of political issues including why young people don't vote and whether Scotland will be able to join the EU if they vote no in the forthcoming independence referendum. The trip ended with the students visiting the Grand Place and Christmas market in Brussels centre.
