Democracy Day

This week we had our Democracy Day where the new class and school councillors were elected. Councillor Ian Rathbone came into school to talk to the children about the important role he plays in the community. The newly elected school council then went to visit the Hackney Town Hall where they got to meet the Hackney Speaker.
