Yesterday, I was delighted to visit The Coppice Academy, a special school in the Westlands, for my first school visit of the new year.
Thank you to Ms French for inviting me, and to the staff and students who welcomed me with several engaging and challenging questions from asking about how House of Commons Select Committees are run to discussing how the war in Ukraine has affected energy prices.
We are very lucky to have schools like these in our Borough supporting our young people, and I look forward to seeing the school continue to go from strength to strength.
