📻 If you were listening to BBC Radio 5 live earlier today, you may have heard one of our Y13 students talking with Nicky Campbell.
Politics student Jacob featured on the programme to discuss the Labour Party leadership.
Speaking about his experience on the programme, Jacob said: "Opportunities like this don't come around too often so it was really good to do.
"I think the A-Level Politics course has helped my political understanding so that I could link what was being discussed with what I’ve learned on the course.”
You can listen to the programme featuring Jacob on BBC Sounds
