PUPILS at Stifford Primary School had two VIP visitors join them for a special lunch on the last day of the half-term.Thurrock MP Andrew Mackinlay and Grays Riverside councillor Carl Morris joined the pupils at the school, in Parker Road, Grays, for a Polish lunch.
The school plans to hold themed lunches regularly and chose Poland to launch the programme because there are 20 pupils of Polish background there.
Also at the lunch were Agnieszka and Yevhen Hladun, who run Pewex Ltd, a Polish food store in Grays.
The couple donated many Polish dishes for the children and visitors to try out.
Councillor Morris said: “Stifford Primary has substantially improved its results lately and I wanted to come and congratulate Head teacher Mr Jones for his success since coming here.
“The chance of enjoying this wonderful dinner with the children was an added bonus.”
And Mr Mackinlay, who has a Polish grandson, added: “I was really impressed.
“The children from all year groups had investigated and celebrated Polish culture, the flags flying and the dinner was a great way to close the half term.”
