TO SCHOOL

SOUTH Derbyshire MP Heather Wheeler took herself back to school for an hour or two when she visited Aston-on-Trent Primary

The MP, who joined one school assembly and then took time to chat to the head teacher, said: “Assemblies are a good way to see all the pupils in a school They do bring together the school into a community and I remember them well from my school days “I was also able to have a good catch up with the head teacher, Sam Moore

“This type of catch-up is very useful so that I can bring the issues and thoughts of schools back to Westminster I am able to garner a good idea of the successes as well as the strains and stresses of running a primary school The school is the heart of the village and epitomises why Aston village is such a popular place to live ”

Sam Moore said: “It was great to welcome Heather Wheeler Heather spoke to children from reception to year 6 about the importance of democracy, making a difference and British Values Our children also enjoyed hearing about ' a day in the life of an MP’ which they found very interesting!”
