”I had a great time addressing the Sixth Form at Ecclesbourne School. They were knowledgeable and engaging asking many interesting questions.
 
“It’s great to see young people interested in politics and especially European Politics.
 


“Ecclesbourne School is an inspiring place to be with excellence in so many different subjects and enthusiastic students who are proud of their school.

 
“I look forward to welcoming a group from Ecclesbourne School to the European Parliament later this year where they will see the Parliament in action.”
