Today we were thrilled to welcome Telford’s elected Member of Parliament Lucy Allan to speak with our Key Stage 2 children. She talked about the role of an MP, explained what happens in Parliament, what constituencies were, and how MPs are there to provide a voice to each area, as well as how important it is for us all to use our vote when we have one at 18.

Her visit tied in with the work that we’ve been doing around the British Values of democracy, the rule of law, respect and tolerance, and individual liberty. She took questions from the floor and our children asked some fascinating ones, including what she loved most about her job, and what she likes least! When she first decided she wanted to be an MP, whether she knew Rishi Sunak, whether she’d ever been on TV, and whether she’d met any famous people.

Thanks to Lucy for making the time to visit us, and well done to all of the children for being so beautifully behaved and for demonstrating our own school values so well.

We are thrilled to announce that for the 2nd year running, we have been nominated by Telford and Wrekin Virtual School for a national award. The Alex Timpson ARC Attachment Award recognises and celebrates best practice in attachment and trauma aware schools and settings. We won’t know if we have won until November though so please keep your fingers crossed for us!
