SCHOOL pupils have learnt about life in Westminster after a Lord paid them a visit.

Lord Alistair Lexden OBE gave a talk to pupils in the politics club at East Bergholt High School. He then answered their questions on the workings of the Government.

The meeting was arranged as part of the Peers in Schools Outreach Programme which launched in 2007.

Headteacher Colin Turner said said: “We are delighted Lord Lexden visited the School, particularly at a time when the country is preparing for a General Election. “
