News Release 11th July 2003VISIT TO WILLOWS SCHOOL IN LICHFIELD
Michael says "This was an excellent visit and I enjoyed answering the many and varied questions ranging from whether I have to wear special ceremonial clothes as an MP and whether I have ever been shot at by a terrorist while entering Parliament. The answer to both questions, by the way, was 'No'. I was also asked about Public Members' Bills and about some quite complex ideas in politics. I was most impressed with the children's understanding of current affairs." The School has just completed its OFSTED inspection. Willows is a Beacon School and last year was given the School Achievement Award by the Department of Education. Year 6 will be visiting London next Wednesday 16th July. The photos show Michael with Year 6 and at him looking at a map of the imaginary town of Springfield which is used to explain the structures of social, business and government life. |
