Pupils welcome Adam Dance MP to Perrott Hill

We were delighted to welcome Adam Dance MP to the school on Friday. 

It was a packed schedule which started with fish and chips in the Grundy Hall, where Adam was joined by the four Year 8 pupils (pictured) who stood as candidates during our school ‘mock election’ in June. 

Adam then witnessed a debate in action, as the Year 8 students discussed the motion “Should the Monarchy be abolished?”, before he set off on a tour of the school. 

He also joined pupils from Year 3 to 8 in the library to speak about his role as an MP, before taking questions from the floor. One such question was, “What do you think of your fellow politicians?”  

Speaking of the visit, Daisie in Year 8 who was acting as ‘Head for the day’ said, “Adam was extremely easy to talk to and knew a lot more about farming and the countryside than I would have expected him to. I would very much like to see him again.” 

We certainly second that. It was a fascinating visit for everyone concerned, and we hope to welcome Adam back to Perrott Hill again soon.
