Epping Forest MP Dr Neil Hudson recently visited Limes Farm Junior School, getting the opportunity to tour their facilities and to meet with pupils and staff.
Dr Hudson was treated to a Q&A session with pupils, who quizzed Dr Hudson about his role as an MP, including his background as a veterinary surgeon that led him into politics.
The visit led Dr Hudson to praise the school for its nurturing environment that supports its pupils both academically and emotionally, with dedicated staff that work so hard to develop well-rounded pupils who are curious about the world around them.
Following the visit, Dr Hudson said:
"It was such a pleasure to visit Limes Farm Junior School. The school clearly has a supportive environment for its pupils to achieve academically and to be curious about the world around them.”
“I was delighted to take a Q&A too from its inquisitive pupils. They are a real credit to their families and school."
Mrs Sophia Pardalis, Head Teacher and DSL of Limes Farm Junior School, commented:
"We were delighted to welcome Dr Neil Hudson MP to Limes Farm Junior School on Friday 15th May. His visit gave us the opportunity to share the strength of our vibrant, diverse community and the inclusive culture that grows from the everyday efforts of our pupils and staff.
Our older pupils particularly enjoyed the question‑and‑answer session, using it to show their curiosity, leadership, and genuine commitment to improving our community. They found him to be warm and caring and were especially struck by his love of animals. Our pupils were also thrilled to learn that the letters they had written for him would receive a personal response, which created a real sense of excitement across the year group.
We are incredibly proud of our school community, and his visit offered a genuine reflection of the values at the heart of our school: inclusion, ambition, and community.”
