WEST WORCESTERSHIRE MP Harriett Baldwin has praised the ‘impressive’achievements of a county primary school as she presented awards at the school’s weekly prize-giving.
The MP toured the Grimley and Holt Primary School with head teacher Helen Hoarle and met with staff and pupils as well as attending their weekly assembly in St Bartholemew Church.
Harriett was invited to the school to see an initiative in action which supplies fruit and vegetables to the school which are grown at the local farm run by John Harper.
Pupils eat snacks including freshly grown carrots, apples and sugar snap peas during their breaks.
Harriett said: “Grimley and Holt Primary School has a great reputation and is clearly delivering impressive results. I was delighted to be asked to come and visit and even more pleased to be asked to present the prizes to the best-performing pupils of the week.
“I think Helen and her team do an outstanding job and it was great to come and say thanks in person.
“I was also impressed at the way pupils enjoy their fruit and veg at playtime and it is a great way to support local farmers and help children to enjoy healthy food.”
