Lynne's Parliament and Haringey diary

Catching up on the week – on Friday I visited Highgate School. Now this was a repeat visit - obviously wowed Year 9 boys last year - so that I'm back by popular request. Always enjoyable to make politics live for young people. The questions were more serious than the ones I had to field last year - which seemed to concentrate on the shenanigans by certain grown up men in my party. This year it was very much about politics itself. I also met the new Headmaster who seemed very enthusiastic about working with other schools in the Haringey community to see where Highgate (independent) could perhaps offer other schools extra things that were available at Highgate but not at some other schools. All seems very exciting as a prospect. Never can get over how you walk into a completely different world once you walk through the front buildings into the seclusion of the inner open spaces of the school.
