Students gathered around rugby balls and flag poles as they visited Downing Street twice in as many weeks for two separate events.
On Thursday, September 17, 18 students were invited to line Downing Street to cheer on the Rugby World Cup Trophy Tour - the trophy’s last stop before heading to the opening ceremony at Twickenham Stadium.
Students met David Cameron before Martin Johnson, former England rugby captain, and Maggie Alphonsi, England Women’s rugby player, arrived with the Webb Ellis cup before taking part in coaching sessions in the back garden of Number 10.
Kingsbury High School student and school rugby ambassador Sayed -Ali Hadadi, said "It was an unreal experience.
“The whole day was packed with excitement and to have the ability to say that you have played rugby in the back garden of 10 Downing Street is just amazing.
“The whole day was topped off brilliantly by meeting Martin Johnson, an ex-rugby legend."
On Thursday, September 24, another set of Kingsbury High School students were invited to Downing Street to deliver and help raise a flag representing ‘Partnerships for the Goals’ - one of the 17 new UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development.
This is the first time that a non-government campaign flag has ever been raised at the British Prime Minister’s residence.
The raising of the 17 flags is part of the campaign to ‘Tell Everyone’ about the Global Goals – a campaign founded by Richard Curtis that aims to reach 7 billion people in seven days.
Student Able Kpogho said: “Coming together as one to raise the flag was amazing as it's a rare opportunity to enter 10 Downing Street.”
