The headteacher at St Edward’s Royal Free Middle School in Parsonage Lane has contributed an article to the Parliamentary Review - the prestigious publication read by politicians and policy makers.

In his article about the school, headteacher Rod Welsh writes about developing the leaders for tomorrow, saying: “Young people at this age need to be resilient and learn to be courageous.”

Mr Welsh and his co-head teacher Jamie Miles attended a gala reception at the Palace of Westminster for the launch of this year’s Review. Speakers included former Home Secretary, Rt Hon Amber Rudd and England Rugby coach Eddie Jones.
