The staff and children of Newlands Spring Primary School, Chelmsford were thrilled to receive a visit from the newly elected Chelmsford MP, Mrs Vicky Ford.
Mrs Ford took a student led tour around the school and heard about the exciting projects and activities the children are currently working on.
She met the staff and talked at length with the School Business Manager to get a better understanding of school finances and current funding issues. She finished the afternoon off with an impromptu Questions and Answers session with a selection of children from Years three to Year Six all of whom came armed with their own questions.
Mrs. Ford was very pleased to be able to witness education in Chelmsford at first hand and to meet children and staff. The staff said it was a very productive visit.
