Over the last 3 weeks, some of our Year 10 students have taken part in the Excellence Programme at Blackpool Sixth Form, focusing on power and conflict around the globe and in particular Afghanistan and Iraq.
They had the privilege of meeting Sgt Rick Clement, a veteran of Northern Ireland and Afghanistan, who stepped on a bomb during the 2010 conflict losing both his legs and walked in public for the first time at a Remembrance Sunday service.
This week, our Year 10 will be debating whether it is acceptable to target civilian infrastructure, diplomacy and peace treaties as well as nuclear powers and whether the national service should be reintroduced.
Both students and staff are looking forward to the last session.
