School Parliamentarians' London Visit
19 Sep

Annually at Colmers Farm, we take our new School Parliamentarians on a visit to London so they can find out more about democracy and begin to think about the skills they will need to be successful in their roles. We were accompanied on this trip by the School Parliamentarians from Green Meadow Primary School and Turves Green Primary School, who they will be working with over the coming the year. On this visit, our pupils had special guided tours of Westminster Abbey (which played a crucial role in early democracy) and the Houses of Parliament. They also visited the front door of 10 Downing Street, Horse Guards Parade and Buckingham Palace.

One of these events was Colmers Farm's first ever trip to Weston Super Mare in 1948. This must have been a fabulous trip for these children, who had only a few years earlier endured the traumatic events of WW2.
