It is vital that students start to learn while still at school how they can become ‘active citizens’. A good way to start is to invite your MP to visit, and the Catholic Education Service has made this extremely easy

It’s said that 24 hours is a long time in politics; and, if the events of the past few months have proved anything, it’s that this is certainly the case. To date we have a new Prime Minister, and in the educational field alone we have a new education secretary and we are on our third shadow education secretary. But what does this mean for Catholic schools up and down the country?

In reality, even though we have had a change of Government, we have not had a change of governing party. Therefore, it is highly unlikely we will see a reverse in any of the major educational reforms that have taken place over the past six years.
