Sir John Hayes visits Spalding school

Pupils and staff at Spalding Primary Academy welcomed local MP, Sir John Hayes, for a visit to the primary school and nursery.
Sir John 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.
Executive headteacher Andrew Raistrick 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.
