Chesterfield MP Toby Perkins visits school as a part of Parliament Week

Inkersall Spencer Academy took part in UK Parliament Week and as a part of the event, all classes participated in the big debate ‘should all children in the Spencer Academy Trust be treated the same?’

To mark the end of the week, Inkersall Spencer Academy had a visit from Toby Perkins, MP for Chesterfield.

Mr Perkins talked to the School Council and Eco Council about his career as an MP and answered students’ questions.

Spokesperson for Inkersall Academy said: “Led by the school council some excellent discussions were had across the school, which really showed how thoughtful the children are. Children enjoyed asking MP Toby Perkins questions and finding out all about what happens in local elections and the Houses of Parliament. In a whole school assembly, children learnt about democracy.”
