On Friday, some of our school Council enjoyed a Learn with the Lords Online session, meeting Lord Russell of Liverpool and were able to ask him very informative questions. They found out all about how Lords are given their name, and what their role is within the House of Lords. Additionaly, the children also found out how he became a Lord and how he got the name Lord Russell of Liverpool.

The children came up with really interesting questions like ‘If Lord Russell could change one law, what would it be?’ His response was that he would like to lower the voting age to 16, as he is passionate on combating climate change, and our children are the ones that are going to have to live through this, so should be able to vote.

Thank you to UK Parliament Education for providing this amazing opportunity.
