I had an amazing morning at Frederick Gent School in South Normanton, part of the Two Counties Trust, today.
It was great catching up with Mr. Woollard, the headteacher. We toured the school, checked out a science class with bunsen burners in action, listened in on a phonics session in the library, explored an art class with some seriously impressive pottery projects, and enjoyed an outstanding dance display. The students are not only delightful to chat with but also incredibly talented.
It's vital to stay connected with our schools — education is the key to our future. I am looking forward to sitting down with the school council soon to hear directly from the students and have a chat about democracy at all levels.
I'm so pleased that we're working on bringing a sixth form to our constituency, opening up more educational opportunities for our young people is a wonderful step forward.
