Miss Reeves shared her expert knowledge on party politics with the LWA's Year 10 History students in a session that covered contentious current issues like how to reduce the budget deficit and benefit fraud. 

The high achieving class also used Miss Reeves's presence to conduct a debate about the rising cost of university tuition fees. The class, all of whom aspire to a university education, were resolutely against the notion that they might be saddled with £30,000 of tuition fee debt in an uncertain economic climate. Miss Reeves, also staunchly against the planned increases, wholeheartedly agreed. The students involved were articulate and engaging and put forth some very credible arguments!

Mr Rand was delighted with the success of the session; “this was a superb opportunity for the students to learn directly from a person who has access to the heart of British government. I was impressed with the arguments and opinions held by the students, and also be the way Rachel responded to them.”
