Visit from Local MP 👏

On Friday, we were delighted to welcome Gareth Snell MP to our school to meet with staff and see the fantastic work taking place across the school. His visit focused primarily on our breakfast club, where he spent time speaking with pupils and staff and seeing the provision in action. He was extremely complimentary about the experience, describing our breakfast club as the best he had visited. We are very proud of this recognition and of the commitment our staff show each morning to ensuring pupils have a positive start to the school day.

🧠 Examples include:
• Gardening, plants or growing food
• Baking, cooking or food science
• Nutrition, food labels & healthy choices
• Fixing or building things
• Working with animals or caring for unusual pets
• Recycling, sustainability & caring for our planet
• Astronomy, space or weather
• Engineering, mechanics or DIY
• Healthcare, laboratories or science‑based jobs
• Fossils, dinosaurs or rocks
• Technology, coding or electronics

If you think you might have something to share, please get in touch and we can have a relaxed chat about how you could get involved.

✨ Even a short visit can make a big difference! ✨
