“We covered a wide range of topics with some well thought out questions.
“I especially enjoyed having a really in-depth discussion with some of the students afterwards, regarding the decision to bomb ISIS in Syria.
“The pupils had clearly been paying attention to the discussions on this and it was great to listen to their opinions.”
