Justin Delivers Signature Assembly At Redoaks Primary School As Students Pass Legislation

Redoaks Primary School have officially passed their own School Sports Bill as part of one of Justin Tomlinson MPs schools assemblies.

Justin has done his signature assembly at every Primary School in North Swindon. The aim is to recreate Parliament and as such, the whole room is divided into two sections – with half of the pupils acting as MPs in the House of Commons, and the second half acting as Lords & Baronesses in the House of Lords.

Stickers were distributed to distinguish between the two and there was much excitement as pupils debated the issue of school sports, with a draft bill being passed between both houses before it was finalised and voted on.

Justin Tomlinson MP: “As with most of the school assemblies I do, Redoaks didn’t fail to disappoint with a lot of excitement and noise as they recreated the Houses of Parliament. These assemblies aim to provide a basic way of explaining how the parliamentary process works by encouraging participation and engagement in the political process. The idea is to let pupils act out democracy themselves and gain an insight into how decisions which affect our Country are made.”
