Stockport Councillors Visit Stockport Academy

Our Student Council hosted two Stockport councillors as they explored local politics as a career option.

Cllr Georgia Lynott & Cllr Louise Heywood spent several hours with the group, answering questions about the impact that councillors are able to make to their area and how they got involved in the role.

They were given a tour of our facilities by the students, before enjoying a working lunch where they discussed issues that students felt were important to Edgeley and Cheadle Heath, including transport and housing.

Assistant Principal Mrs Milnes, who leads the Student Council, said: “Our Student Council were really engaged by the visit and loved hearing about how they could potentially make a difference to the world around them while pursuing a career path that really interests them.

“I would like to thank both of the councillors for their time with us today, which provided students with an invaluable insight into what a councillor does and how aspiring young people can become one.”
