South Leicestershire MP, Alberto Costa, recently visited Swinford Church of England Primary School to meet with the Head Teacher, Mr Edy O’Connor, and to speak to the school’s Parliament who quizzed him about his role as a Member of Parliament.
During the visit Alberto also had a question and answer session with Years 3 and 4 at and answered questions on a wide of range issues including the environment and sports in schools.
Alberto said, “One of the very best parts of my job as Member of Parliament is visiting the excellent schools in South Leicestershire, and my time spent at Swinford CofE Primary School was certainly no exception. I faced a few tough questions from Swinford’s Parliament who do a terrific job in representing their fellow students, with two pupils elected from each year group, and I was really delighted to see democracy alive and well at this brilliant primary school.
I would also like to really thank Mr O’Connor, Swinford’s fantastic Head Teacher, who continues to do excellent work for pupils at the school; we had a really good and productive catch-up and I look forward to continue doing all I can to support our excellent schools across South Leicestershire”.
