• Why don't we care about politics? Hope Baker, DAOS

  29-04-2023 23:34
  
  Young people today just don’t care about politics; at least that's what the statistics would suggest. Less than a quarter of 18-24 year olds had a certain intention of voting in the 2015 general election, a year where a government that introduced £9,000 yearly university tuition fees, would be voted back into office. Over half of young voters just aren’t using their voices to engage with the political system. MPs and the media have for years pushed the narrative that today&rsqu

• Are Private Schools Elitist? Nefo Y-I, Townley Grammar

  29-04-2023 23:09
  
  Britain has an illustrious educational history, being the home to many widely-acclaimed institutions such as the University of Oxford, Eton, Harrow and the University of Cambridge, as well as others. However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that perhaps the only true purpose they serve, apart from enriching the history of Britain, is to further widen the enormous gulf between the upper class and the rest of society which is the vast majority.

• A Hamilton Review - Elizabeth Omondi, James Allen's Girls Schoo

  29-04-2023 22:01
  
  Some months ago, I had the privilege of viewing the world-renowned musical Hamilton for the first time. Nearly 7 years ago, it made its West End Debut and simultaneously captured my obsession. Hamilton is the sort of musical adored by musical theatre buffs and non-starters alike. I certainly wouldn’t consider myself the former, although a friend’s introduction had me hooked on the show for all my teenage years. Despite this, Lin - Manuel Miranda’s lyricism, hook repetition and
