St Paul's Catholic College, Burgess Hill, was delighted to welcome the local MP, Alison Bennett, who represents Mid Sussex, to the college last week for a visit focused on seeing St Paul’s in action. Writing on the school's website, St Paul's reports that:

‍

"The visit began with Alison meeting Mr Carter, Executive Headteacher, and going on a tour of the College with our Head Students, Rhys and Lily, before finishing up with an engaging question-and-answer session, where KS4 and KS5 students had the opportunity to ask Alison about her role, current political issues, and the work of Parliament. The discussion prompted thoughtful questions and lively debate, showcasing the confidence, curiosity, and political awareness of our students.

"We would like to thank Alison for taking the time to visit St Paul’s and for sharing her experiences with our students. Opportunities such as these help bring politics and public service to life, inspiring students to take an active interest in the world around them. We look forward to welcoming Alison back in the future."
