Politics
Three MPs
It's another big landmark for St Ambrose College.
For the first time in its history, the school has three former pupils who are now UK Members of Parliament.
As it turned out, all three are part of the Coalition.
So, for the first time, St Ambrose former pupils are part of a serving British Government.
St Ambrose educated three out of the 361 coalition MPs currently in Government ...and that's 0.8%: not bad for a state school!
