Published 12/09/25Earlier today, we were pleased to welcome our local MP, Nigel Huddleston, to St Andrew’s. He visited to tour the school, explain his role, and take part in a Q&A session with Year 5. During the session, we asked him lots of questions about his responsibilities and what it's like to be a leader. He shared that he meets with the Prime Minister every Wednesday at 12pm for Prime Minister’s Questions, where they discuss what’s going well and what needs improvement in our local area. Speaking with him was really valuable, especially as we begin preparing for our own school leadership elections.
