After finding an article in the national news that I thought would be interesting to cover I went into the centre of Bath and took part in a vox pop. I covered a story about David Cameron sending his youngest daughter, Nancy, 11 to a state school. When I had received the research I needed I wrote up an article on the subject:
David Cameron sets out to be the first serving Conservative PM to send his daughter to state school.
From September, the youngest of the family, 11-year-old Nancy will be attending The Grey Coat Hospital school in Westminster, which was founded in 1698 and is now a Church of England academy.

Grey Coat Hospital is thought to be the second choice for the family after another church school in West London. The decision to accept a place at the school just down the road from Downing Street is a bold decision by Mr Cameron which is likely to be seen as an indication that he will remain Prime Minister after the election in May.
Nancy, amongst hundreds of thousands of other children found out whether they got into the school of the their choice, luckily for Nancy there was no doubt she would get into the school which was rated "outstanding" in its latest Ofsted inspection.

Reports in the national have said that Mr Cameron has been paying regular private visits to the school over the past couple of years, it is clear that he was impressed by the school.
Head teacher Sian Maddrell describes the school as being "committed to ensuring that each student is known as an individual, develops the knowledge, skills and personal qualities to lead successful and fulfilling lives, and is empowered to do so."
Students from Bath College ask the people of Bath what they think of David Cameron’s decision to send his daughter to state school.

Whitehall Garden Centre employee, Abbie Nelson, 17 said: “Good for him, why should David need to send Nancy to a private school”
“He isn't doing this for votes, I strongly believe keeping his reputation up is not more important than the well being Nancy.”
Jill Pearce, 68 from Bath said: “I’m not surprised by this at all.”
“Of course he is doing it for votes, every decision he makes is to improve his reputation.”
