UK Parliament Week at St George’s: A Week of Voices, Ideas, and Debate!

What a whirlwind week it has been at St George’s as we joined schools across the country in celebrating UK Parliament Week!

Monday kicked off with a bang as we welcomed our local MP, Victoria Collins, for a dynamic Q&A session. Students seized the opportunity to challenge, question, and explore the realities of political life.

By Wednesday, our Year 12s were in full stride at the county‑wide ‘Speak Your Mind’ event. Their questions to the expert panel were sharp, thoughtful, and fearless—showing just how engaged our students are with the issues shaping society today.

A true highlight came when Enny took centre stage, opening the debate with a powerful three‑minute speech before joining the panel itself. Her confidence, eloquence, and maturity shone through as she addressed an audience of hundreds of peers.

And today, we round off the week with a thrilling BP debate at Berkhamsted School, putting our debating skills to the test against some of the best young minds in the region.

But the excitement doesn’t stop here! Next week, the spotlight swings back to St George’s as we host our very own ‘St George’s Question Time’. Guided by our newly appointed debate captains and leads, this promises to be another inspiring showcase of student voice, critical thinking, and spirited discussion.
