Wednesday 11 February saw the annual Youth Elections take place in school. The process was overseen by representatives of our School Council who coordinated the logistics of over 3000 voting papers! We had an excellent turn out as students voted for their Youth Cabinet and UK Youth Parliament candidates.

We were delighted to have four candidates standing from KEVI for UK Youth Parliament:

• Year 9 Christina campaigning for youth mental health, climate change and equal opportunities
• Year 10 Jessie campaigning for a 4 day school week, more free clubs for young people and more buses for rural areas
• Year 10 Berechiah campaigning for non-school uniform on Fridays, food poverty and improve transport links
• Year 11 George campaigning for the voting age lowered to 17, free classroom based driving lessons in Year 11 and fair treatment for LGBTQ+ groups

We are really proud of these students who are part of a record number of 49 Youth Parliament candidates this year.
