A Letter to the Prime Minister!

Last Month, we were pleased to hear that one of our Year 4 pupils, Jack, had taken it upon himself to write to the Prime Minister, in order to challenge the amount of homework children receive today.  Jack attempted to persuade the Prime Minister that doing less homework would benefit his social life and sporting activities; both very important aspects of a pupil's life.

Jack received a swift reply from 10 Downing Street, thanking him for his well written letter and highlighting the importance of homework, not only in choosing a good career but also in terms of the kind of life people would like to live.  

We are of course delighted to hear that Downing Street shares our vision to make pupils the best they can be and that homework continues to be a pivotal part of academic and social development.  

Please take a look at both letters below.  Well done Jack for taking the time to use your initiative and persuasion to challenge children's rights.  It is important that children always question things that affect their lives, so they are able to make good and well reasoned decisions.  Perhaps a future in politics for our budding activist!
