A visit from our local MP Graham Brady
St. Vincent's were delighted to welcome Altrincham and Sale West MP, Graham Brady, to meet our Year 5&6 children. Graham spent the afternoon discussing what it is like to be a member of parliament and what it means to be part of a political party, before meeting our Youth Parliament members who grilled Graham about local and national issues. We were very grateful for Graham coming to visit us, especially on his birthday.
