Trinity School has held its own School General Election, contested between the Conservative, Labour, Green, Reform and Liberal Democrat Parties.
The campaign included a Party leaders debate at lunchtime, students producing Party political broadcasts and an energetic poster campaign.
Mr Howell would like to thank the students for their professionalism and enthusiasm in this contest.
The Contest was won by the Labour party, which won the constituencies of Year 7, 8, 9 and 10.
The Reform party will form the official opposition, having won the Year 12 constituency.
We would like to congratulate our Labour leader, who has been invited to form the government.
The results breakdown follows. The Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 votes were all counted as separate constituencies, but in this article I have combined their voting figures for ease of use. I have compared it to the results of the 2019 Trinity School Election, to give an idea of the changing political make up of the school:
