Friday 12th July

Marcus Fysh MP visited the school today.  He had a meeting with Mrs Frost, Governors and Father Jean-Patrice which was focused on exploring issues within financing education, lack of support services for education and young people and the state of early help services.  The conversations were heated at moments but I think the message was hammered home that we need more money and we need more autonomy over how we spend money within school.  He also seemed to understand that schools are not actually seeing any impact on the money the Government are spending on Early Help for mental health concerns in children and young adults.

He also met with some of the School Parliament who had created their own questions for him to answer.  A big well done to Lena, Chloe, Giorgia, Esther, Malachy, Maciej, Alfie, Layden and Rodrigo for your openness and challenging questions.  A photo will follow.
