2025 Summer School – Day 5

This year’s summer school in Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton has now come to an end.

To end the week of activities today, the students visited the 𝐂𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 in Oldham Town Centre followed by a discussion at my Chadderton Town Hall Constituency Office.

In the Council Chamber, 𝐎𝐥𝐝𝐡𝐚𝐦 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐣 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐡 spoke to the students about her role, the work the council does for the borough, the mechanisms of local politics in Oldham, and how they compare with national politics that the students experienced on Tuesday down in Westminster.

To close the day, students returned to for 𝐚 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥 where we discussed politics in Oldham, what matters to them, what change they would like to see in their borough. and we discussed the activities of previous days.

I would like to thank all students who participated in this year’s summer school, all those wo hosted sessions this week in our local area & in Westminster, and for my team who have worked hard in the lead up to & across the week to deliver such a successful summer school. Those who hosted session gave the students further insight into politics on a local and national level, which has been appreciated. I hope it was an enjoyable and valuable experience for all!
