Today, June 13,  we welcomed 21 year old Newham Councillor, Mariam Dawood to school to speak to our Year 12 Politics’ students in the library.

Mariam is from Manor Park and described as the youngest Newham Councillor.

She has just finished a degree at King’s College and will attend LSE to do a Master’s.

She spoke to pupils about local critical issues and her charity work and she took questions from the audience.

Mr McDonald, Mrs Rahman and Mr Flynn want to thank her for coming in and giving an insight into a day in her life.
