'The ballot is stronger than the bullet' (Abraham Lincoln)

At Gillespie's we are proud to have a very engaged and well informed pupil voice. Our Modern Studies department delivers a stimulating, engaging and often controversial curriculum to pupils throughout the school. Many of our pupils enjoy debating and getting involved in Politics. My own firmly held view is that this engagement is essential towards ensuring that the citizens of tomorrow exercise their right to become involved in discussing matters that affect them and expressing their views in confident and informed ways.

Here is what one of our parents relayed in an email to us yesterday:



'Here's further evidence of importance of Modern Studies in general, and your style of wonderfully-engaged teaching at JGHS in particular.

Hope you can keep those discussions going, in the classroom and at Assembly!'
