Birchwood High students have been voting for their representative at the national Youth Parliament.

Birchwood High School has a strong history with the Youth Parliament with former pupils Ryan Barnes and Amin Abdelhamid representing Warrington North.

Year seven students voted after hearing from all the candidates through a video in assembly.

Terry McAlinden, head of year seven, said: β€œIt has been a really positive way to gain an understanding of our democratic processes and to appreciate the importance of taking part in elections.”
