School newspaper reporters Eve Lambrick, and Izzie Kite grilled the MP on a variety of subjects including school funding, university tuition fees and school transport.

“It was great to see how engaged they were and I look forward to seeing their article in the school paper.”

The MP also met with head teacher Adrian Price and viewed the school’s impressive new auditorium.
