Spalding Primary Academy welcomes local MP
Pupils and staff at Spalding Primary Academy, part of Infinity Academies Trust, were pleased to welcome their local MP, Rt Hon Sir John Hayes, for a visit to the primary school and nursery.
During the visit, the MP for South Holland and The Deepings, had the chance to take a tour of the school, meeting pupils across each year group and watching a performance from the recent Key Stage 2 play.
Andrew Raistrick, Executive Headteacher at Spalding Primary Academy, said: “It was a pleasure to welcome Sir John to our school, he was really impressed with our learning provision and the fantastic facilities and outdoor spaces we have on offer here.
“We’re incredibly proud of our children and the way they showed their curiosity, confidence and love of learning throughout the visit.”
There was also an opportunity for the MP to see Spalding Primary Academy’s new purpose-built nursery building which opened in 2023, providing high quality early years provision for two-and three-year-olds.
Gavin Booth, CEO at Infinity Academies Trust, added: “Visits like today are a great opportunity to celebrate our wonderful school communities. A particular highlight was showing Sir John our brilliant new nursery building, enabling us to provide the best possible start for our very youngest pupils.
“Spalding Primary Academy is going from strength to strength, and we’re pleased Sir John could see the positive impact being made here.”
