Four Year 5 children were lucky enough to take part in a Democracy Day held by Braintree and District council on Tuesday. The day began with an explanation of what democracy is, how we carry out democracy in the UK and why it is such an important part of our society and values. The group were then able to see a real election in action by voting for a biscuit Mayor! Each part of the election was broken down fully to see how it all works on a much bigger scale. Finally, the group were able to ask questions both to the election team and the chairman himself. The children showed exactly what St Andrew's is all about, embodying our CARE values and asking some wonderful questions!
