The Education Secretary and the other candidates in the Chichester seat were grilled during the event.

Schoolchildren at a mock election hustings quizzed Gillian Keegan on what job she would do if she was not an MP, to which she replied: “I might have to answer that question next Friday.”

Questions ranged from what makes a good leader and what Parliament is like, to what the candidates would do to improve the Chichester area with £100,000, and how they would help the school secure land for new sports facilities. Ms Keegan was asked what election day will look like for her, and she said it will be an early start to thank volunteers at polling stations and encourage people to vote.

Sam, 15, who was given the role of Conservative Party candidate, came up with the idea to invite all the Chichester candidates to the school to take part.
