Pupils pose ‘fantastic’ questions as MP visits school

YOUNGSTERS from Oxspring Primary School’s Pupil Parliament had a special visit recently.

Marie Tidball, MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge, was on hand to speak with the pupils.

She said: “I used to go to Brownies in Oxspring, just down the road at St Aidan’s Church, so this brought back such fond memories for me.

"The pupils were wearing their best outfits in the spirit of Red Nose Day.

They told me about the issues that matter to them, including the problems that they are facing with their KS2 building and toilet block. I’ll be getting in touch with Barnsley Council to work towards a solution for the school. We’ve definitely got a few future campaigners in the group here. They asked me some fantastic questions. Hopefully they will soon be able to come down to Westminster and see it all in action soon.”
