Dropping in to Bushey’s Longwood School

Oliver Dowden CBE MP at Longwood School

Oliver on Friday visited Bushey’s Longwood School & Nursery for a tour and question and answer session with pupils.

He was quizzed for nearly an hour by pupils from Years 3, 4, 5 and 6, before being taken by them on a full tour of the school.

Speaking afterwards, Oliver said: ‘It was a pleasure to visit Longwood School on Friday and answer questions from the pupils.

‘We covered a large number of topics, from Brexit and local matters, to how you become an MP and what it’s like meeting the Queen. I was impressed by the pupils’ questions and how engaged they were with political issues.

‘I also enjoyed my tour of the school and seeing all its classrooms and facilities.

‘I am grateful to Longwood for their hospitality and look forward to visiting again.’

Improving Education

Our local state schools provided me with an excellent education. I will never forget the debt of gratitude that I owe to Parmiters’ School in Watford. The great education I got there enabled me to do so much with my life, whether it was winning a place at Cambridge University, working for the Prime Minister or having the privilege of being elected as a Member of Parliament.
