The GLC School Council Visit to Madame Mayor’s Parlour and the Thurrock Council Chamber

Members of the GLC School Council recently visited the Mayor’s Parlour and the Council Chamber at Thurrock Council, gaining a valuable insight into local democracy in action.In the Mayor’s Parlour, students learned about the history of the borough and the role of the Mayor in serving the community.
In the Council Chamber, pupils took part in a lively debate on the proposal of a four-day school week. Sitting where real decisions are made, they confidently presented arguments for and against the motion, demonstrating thoughtful discussion, respect and maturity throughout.
We are incredibly proud of the engagement and professionalism shown by all involved.
