The march took place during their lunch break.

Charlotte Cleal, 16, was one of the organisers.

'It's been brilliant,' she said.

'Much better than we imagined.'

Along the way pupils waved placards and chanted for change.

At the Royal Court building they were met by Policy & Resources president Gavin St Pier, who said the States was looking at the problem.
