I was invited by headteacher Mrs Emma Vincent and Deputy Head Mrs Sarah Spaxman to visit R A Butler School in Saffron Walden.
The school has a great community feel, especially as those with Special Educational Needs are taught in the same classes as other pupils, making the learning environment a lot more inclusive.
Taking questions from year 6 students about issues such as local developments, small businesses, climate change and the environment was a highlight of my visit. It is very encouraging to see such enthusiastic engagement with local issues at such a young age.
I commend the work that Mrs Vincent, Mrs Spaxman and all the school staff do to make this such a welcoming environment for the students.
