Thank you to the Prison Officers from HMP Pentonville who visited today to speak to parents and #Year5. Your visit has had a positive impact on our lives. Pupils learnt how to keep safe as they grow up, and got to ask important questions. Thank you to parents who attended.

"Today’s vote is a landmark moment for choice, compassion and dignity at the end of life. MPs have listened to dying people, to bereaved families and to the public, and have voted decisively for the reform that our country needs and deserves." https://t.co/J76oeeKhV3
