Feltham and Heston Youth Engagement Conference <strong>2015</strong><br />
Friday 13th March <strong>2015</strong>, <strong>Cranford</strong>’s sixth form<br />
students attended a Heston Youth Engagement<br />
Conference. The event involved a discussion about politics<br />
and Q&A with Seema Malhotra MP as well as a panel debate<br />
with external guest speakers. With an election looming it was<br />
an opportune time to listen to both MPs and other experts<br />
about how to make society a better place. More importantly<br />
this event provided our students with an opportunity to have<br />
their say and to share their concerns and ideas with people<br />
that need to better understand the local community.<br />

“I enjoyed the different activities ranging from<br />
sports workshops to feminism. I liked the fact that<br />
I got to have my say on how people our age should<br />
be treated”.<br />
Simran Gill (year 12)<br />
“The event was truly eye-opening as we discussed<br />
the involvement of young people in politics. I was<br />
also informed about the many youth clubs and<br />
activities arranged for us. Most of us were unaware<br />
of these and so we are now more enthused about<br />
getting involved in local events and clubs”.<br />

Sixth Form attend a debate on<br />
the future of Britain’s Constitution<br />
On<br />
Wednesday 26 November 2014, students in years 12 & 13 attended a deliberative event to engage with<br />
a significant parliamentary consultation focused on the future of Britain’s constitution.<br />
This event was to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta, held at Royal Holloway<br />
College, University of London. In this debate we explored various arguments for and against having some form<br />
of written constitution. This allowed us to recognise that although the unwritten nature of the constitution is<br />
distinctively British and reminds us of our history, it is necessary and can become a symbol and expression of<br />
national identity and a source of national pride. With a panel of experts in the field of politics, we discussed three<br />
options for the ‘New Magna Carta’ and concluded that due to the practical problems with preparing a written<br />
constitution, there is limited support for implementing one and is a low priority even for those who support the idea.<br />
