Houses of Parliament trip: Sixth Formers see politics in action

10th March 25

A group of KAS Sixth Formers saw democracy in action in January, as they visited the Houses of Parliament as part of their A level Politics studies.

Students enjoyed a tour of Parliament and had the opportunity to watch a live debate in the House of Commons.

They also participated in a fun workshop, which saw them split into groups and tasked with creating fictional political parties.

Year 12 student Evie P, who is studying for A levels in Politics, History and Engligh Literature, shared: β€œI found the opportunity to witness a debate in the House of Commons the most interesting aspect of the trip, as I learned more about how politicians engage in discussions when they disagree on legislation decisions.

β€œIt was also helpful in gaining a better understanding of the history of the building itself and the transition from a monarchy to a democracy.”

Take a look at a selection of photographs from the trip below.
