It was a great opportunity to pick up my regular schedule of constituency school visits again this past Friday – this time visiting Hockering Church of England Primary School alongside local councillor Gordon Bambridge to continue the crucial conversations I have been having with Norfolk education leaders, and speak with pupils, as we look to ensure our children are not only able to catch up on what they have missed during the pandemic, but are also able to go on to thrive, excel and succeed.

I was delighted to be joined by a member from the Academy Trust who explained in more detail the work being done to empower teachers across the Trust with high quality training in order to better support and develop SEND pupils.

I was also joined by the “School dog” and in my opinion all schools should have one!

If YOU are a school in Mid Norfolk that would be interested in having me visit, do get in touch via george.freeman.mp@parliament.uk . I’d be delighted to come and speak with you all.
