John Redwood MP visited Floreat Montague Primary School on Friday 24 September. He met and talked to a number of pupils,  and his visit was hosted by the Chair of Governors, John Hutt and the Headteacher, Patrick Pritchett. Councillor Gregor Murray, who is also a parent, joined the visit.

There was an initial discussion about raising standards and the ethos of the school. John Redwood praised the use of synthetic phonics as the best way of encouraging good reading and writing at an early age. He also discussed the way that project work around stated themes or tasks can be used to allow pupils in a class of varied abilities to participate fully and achieve good outcomes. The MP was pleased to see the school’s emphasis on kindness and engaging with all pupils.

During his tour of the school a couple of boys were energetic in their enthusiasm for football, and most engaging over opportunities for them to play and to follow Premier League teams. There was a Question and Answer session with four of the older pupils selected for the task of interviewing their MP.

John Redwood asked them to comment on what they most liked about their school, on what improvement they would like to see and which lessons or activities engaged them the  most. The pupils asked him about electric cars, charger points, plastic waste in the oceans, sustainability and cycleways. The MP explained government policy and his own thoughts in line with the views set out on www.johnredwood.com.

After the visit John said “I was grateful for the warm welcome to Floreat Montague Primary, and pleased to talk to pupils about their lives in the school and about their interest in issues affecting the local community and the wider world.

"I wish the school every success as it expands, completes its exciting history mural project and enriches the lives of all pupils who pass through.“
