Stephen McPartland, Member of Parliament for Stevenage, presented badges to members of the new School Council for Giles Nursery and Infants School at a special assembly.

Stephen McPartland MP said,"It is always a pleasure to speak with each member of the School Council and present them with their School Council badges. It is amazing the support from parents, most of whom take time off work to attend the special assembly. I always enjoy working with the children and being a member of their Eco-committee."

Each class elects two of their classmates to sit on the council and take a lead on improving the school. They work with Mrs McPartland, who leads the School Council as head of Year 2, and the Headteacher Mrs Mendel.
