Mr Pritchard thoroughly enjoyed his visit to our school today. Commenting on how lucky our pupils are to receive such a wonderful education in our rural setting. On our school tour, he saw children enjoying forest schools – embracing the outdoors and making habitats for different woodland creatures, he listened to pupils playing their recorders and making beautiful music together, he saw pupils designing their DT projects and planning their up coming assembly. He also saw some classes doing PE and talked though some river homework projects, he saw pupils engaged in history and was impressed with pupils knowledge about the Great Fire of London.
Mark then introduced himself to our school council team and school ambassadors, he explained his role in our government and answered lots of very thoughtful questions about his day to day job, the difference he makes to his community and how he became and MP.
He spoke at length to Mrs Lyall about our school, celebrating our many achievements and thinking about current barriers and how he could support with them, such as local funding, SEND funding, sustainability and building developments.
A very successful meeting. We are thankful that he came to see us and spoke so highly about how great our school is, we certainly impressed him – well done team Hodnet!
