RORY LEADS POLITICAL DEBATE AT KIRKBY STEPHEN PRIMARY SCHOOL

The students were so excited about Rory’s visit that they immediately wrote him a letter of thanks, saying:  “Thank you so much for coming to Kirkby Stephen Primary School. We really enjoyed your visit and how you explained to us about your very important job and what it is like being an MP. We are grateful that you have shown us that being an MP is hard work and not as easy as it looks. We learnt that it is a complicated process passing a law that will benefit us. We also realised that being an MP could be an extremely scary and risky experience because you might not always be popular. Additionally, we found out that it can be difficult to make decisions as people may disagree with your choices. Finally, we discovered that you cannot just tax the people of Britain whenever you want. To sum up, we would like to say a HUGE thank you for giving up your precious time to come and visit our school, we really appreciate it. We have learnt a massive amount from your talk. We hope you will come and visit us again soon.Thank you so much for coming to Kirkby Stephen Primary School. We really enjoyed your visit and how you explained to us about your very important job and what it is like being an MP.”Rory said: “I was enormously impressed by all that the staff and students of KSPS are achieving. Small schools like these perform such a very important role in Cumbrian education. There was a great atmosphere in the school, and I felt that it was a wonderful space for children to learn, play and interact. I’d like to congratulate all the staff on creating such a great environment where children can strive and succeed to fulfil their goals.”
