Pupils and staff from Hall Cliffe School recently welcomed MP Simon Lightwood from the Wakefield constituency in the run-up to Christmas.
Simon was given a tour of the school, where he interacted with pupils in various lessons, including Design and Technology, where pupil Shaun talked him through his most recent project of creating a wooden speaker for his family Christmas present.
Simon also learnt about the school's most recent achievement, The Rainbow Flag Award, which encourages LGBT+ inclusion and strategies to effectively challenge and combat LGBTphobic bullying.
After completing the tour and gaining a better understanding of the school's offer, Simon offered an educational visit to Westminster for pupils, as well as a commitment to keep in touch through the constituency office and attend any parent events in the future.
