Dersingham students virtually met with Stephen for a lively Q&A session about his work in Parliament and the local area.
The students, aged 7 to 10, form the school’s cabinet. Stephen congratulated them on their appointments. They asked questions such as “how many meetings do you have in the House of Commons?” and “what are the future plans for London?” They spoke about the history of Dersingham school and Stephen revealed he had first visited in 1979 – and countless times since.
The school cabinet also announced their plans to plant more trees in their local area and introduce more recycling bins in their classrooms.
Speaking after the Q&A, Stephen said “I very much enjoyed answering the students’ questions and hearing about their excellent plans to plant more trees and encourage recycling in their school. I thank them for the work they are doing on behalf of their fellow pupils and look forward to visiting Dersingham Primary School this summer to see the changes their cabinet have put in place.”
