Inscape House School welcomes visit from local MP as part of Parliament Week

We were delighted to welcome Tom Morrison, Liberal Democrats MP for Cheadle to our campus last week! As part of UK Parliament Week, our focus at Inscape House School was on learning more about democracy. Mr. Morrison talked to our young people about being an MP, advocating for others, as well as his experience with homelessness and social housing.

It’s not everyday that we get such an important guest at school, so our students came prepared with lots of questions and debate topics. They were curious to know about his experience as an MP including: what it is really like, how a day in Parliament is, what his favourite thing about being an MP is, how you get chosen to represent a constituency, what his plans are for the future.

Students also recommended lots of useful ideas. Some pupils suggested that people shouldn’t be told how to vote in Parliament. Others expressed that there is an issue with ‘lost media’ and how we’re losing access to information and media from the past. However, one of the most popular suggestions was making public transport more comfortable for everyone.

Huge thank you for visiting us. Looking forward to working with you on improving the lives of people in our amazing local community.
