Local MP Abena Oppong-Asare Visits Us

Willow Bank Primary School Welcomes Local MP Abena Oppong-Asare

We were delighted to welcome our local MP, Abena Oppong-Asare, to our school. Abena spent the morning visiting our breakfast club, speaking to the whole school and Year 6 parents during our sharing assembly, and meeting with our School Ambassadors to answer their thoughtful questions.

The visit was arranged following letters written by our Year 6 pupils about conservation concerns surrounding Southmere Lake. This provided a valuable opportunity to explore British Values in action, including the democratic process and the rule of law, as well as inspiring our children to consider how they might one day play a role in shaping their community- even as future Members of Parliament!

We are proud of our community and opportunities like this to support meaningful learning experiences that help our pupils understand and engage with the world around them and their community.
