On Thursday 13th May, we welcomed Leeds Councillor Jonathan Pryor to our school to learn more about our incredible community of young learners and passionate educators.
Councillor Pryor, who is also Executive Member for Learning, Skills, Employment & Equality with Leeds City Council, complimented the new developments and improvements within the academy. He particularly appreciated our school library and the plans for our wellbeing garden, which are expected to be completed by September 2021, in time for the new academic year.
As part of the visit, Cllr Pryor and Kate Burton, Principal of Mill Field Primary Academy, discussed the school’s ambitious plans for its journey of rapid improvement over the next two years and the important role that local representatives can play in community transformation.
The visit also involved meeting with many of our children who were eager to talk about their learning and introduce Cllr Pryor to our newest member: Tim the Toad who sadly was too shy to say hello during the visit.
Kate Burton, Principal, commented
"It was a privilege to invite Councillor Pryor to our academy and discuss our ambitious plans. It is wonderful to have the opportunity to build relationships with councillors and individuals who are passionate about improving our communities. We look forward to welcoming Councillor Pryor back to our academy soon."
Thank you, Councillor Pryor, for visiting our academy. If any members of our wider community wish to visit our academy, please contact office@mfprimary.com.
