Lord Mayor Visit Inspires Our Pupils
Lord Mayor of Barking & Dagenham Princess Bright visits Grafton Primary.
On 22 January 2026, we were delighted to welcome the Lord Mayor of Barking and Dagenham, Princess Bright to our school. The visit was a special and inspiring occasion for our pupils, particularly those in Years 5 and 6, who took part in an engaging assembly led by the Lord Mayor.
During the assembly, pupils learned about the role of the Lord Mayor, the importance of civic responsibility, and how individuals can make a positive difference within their community. Our children listened attentively and asked thoughtful questions, demonstrating great curiosity and enthusiasm.
.The Lord Mayor also met with some of our
Diversity and Rights Ambassadors, taking time to hear about their work in promoting equality, respect, and inclusion across the school. It was a valuable opportunity for our ambassadors to share their ideas and feel recognised for their commitment to our work as a Rights Respecting School and leadership.
We would like to thank the Lord Mayor for taking the time to visit us and for inspiring our pupils to be active, responsible, and compassionate citizens.
