On the 15th of June 2023 Barry attended the Barham Primary School announcement that they have been nominated for the World's Best School award for Community Engagement.
“You’d think I would be surprised and delighted to hear that Barham Primary School was nominated for T4’s World’s Best School for Community Collaboration award… I wasn’t. I was delighted, but not surprised.
It’s not just about their inclusivity and their award-winning support for children with special needs, it about their work in our community.
The work they have been doing during the cost-of-living crisis to provide food parcels for families. It was a privilege to attend the announcement ceremony last week and see the joy and sense of belonging that Barham Primary has in spades. Interestingly enough, I was informed that our Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, would be in Brent North that day, well he certainly wasn’t with us at Barham Primary and wherever he was, he missed out! It goes to show that only Labour cares about supporting our schools” - Barry.
