“It was wonderful to hear that both Nottingham Girls Academy and St Theresas Primary were joining the UK Parliament Education Teacher Ambassador Programme this week. I’m so proud they are playing their part in developing Nottingham’s future leaders.

“It was lovely to meet with Ellie from Nottingham Girls Academy and Joanne from St Theresas in Parliament and hear about their first day.

“I can’t wait to see them again back at school – it’s vital that young people know how to use their voice.”
