Earl and Countess of Wessex visit London Nautical School
Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex listened to a debate between pupils from two SE1 schools when they visited the South Bank on Thursday.
The Earl and Countess came to the London Nautical School in Stamford Street as part of a series of visits to schools and youth projects arranged by Deutsche Bank.
They heard part of a debate - on the motion 'this house will punish parents for the crimes their children have committed’ – between pupils from LNS and St Saviour's and St Olave's School at Bricklayers Arms. The motion was eventually lost.
Both schools are members of Debate Mate, a national peer to peer programme.
The royal couple also sat in on a Year 10 nautical studies lesson (the Earl is commander –in-chief of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary) and spent considerable time talking to students afterwards about their nautical experiences as well as school life.
