St Andrew’s decides
Following discussion and debate in Years 3-8 PSHE lessons this week the St Andrew’s Prep children were offered the opportunity to vote in a school poll for Scotland to become Independent from the rest of the UK or for all parts of the UK to remain united.
The children learned all about the referendum including the fact that 16 year olds are voting for the first time. The actual referendum allows voters to vote only Yes (Aye) or No (Naw), so the votes from the undecided (Mibbe) were not included in the overall result.
There was an excellent turnout with only 6% of the total who wanted to vote unable to decide.
Of the remainder:
25% voted YES and 75% voted NO
So it seems that the majority of Children at St Andrew’s want Scotland firmly to stay part of the UK.
