Pinewood School visits the Town Hall


Over thirty five, year six pupils from Pinewood Primary school visited the Town Hall last week and met with school governor, Cllr Andrew Mann and Deputy Mayor of Havering, Cllr Pam Light.

The pupils spent an hour in the Town Hall, after travelling to and from the school by public transport (the 365 bus) and heard about the work that Cllr Mann does as a Councillor and the role of the Mayor of Havering.

The pupils, who all behaved fantastically and were a credit to the school, asked question after question, whilst sitting in the Town Hall Council Chamber. Some of the teaching staff even got the chance to try on some of the gowns, (see below).
As a school governor of Pinewood, Cllr Mann is linked to the year six pupils, which involves meeting with the children in their last year of primary school before they move onto senior school, many of the Pinewood pupils will attend Bower Park school, where Cllr Mann is also a Governor.

Cllr Mann said “As a former pupil of Pinewood Primary school myself it is always great working with the current children, we all had a great time in the Town Hall, with the children getting an insight into how local government works and seeing the Mayor and getting to ask questions, I very much look forward to seeing them back again”
