TPS pupils in Years 6 to 8 have been learning all about the US political system to help broaden their knowledge of politics as a whole, and to gain an understanding of the way things work in countries outside the UK. Following this, pupils were able to take part in a vote hosted by our Current Affairs Club to give them the opportunity to see how real-life elections work.

We think it’s vital to instil an understanding of politics from an early age to help our students better understand the world and to enable them to make informed decisions and feel confident with the processes when the time comes for them to vote.
