May 11, 2008
Two Pembrokeshire politicians have gone back to school - and were impressed by what they learned!
Preseli Pembrokeshire MP Stephen Crabb and AM Paul Davies were given a tour of Mary Immaculate Catholic School in Haverfordwest.
The Merlins Terrace primary school was badly damaged by fire in October 2006. (news)
The school hall was destroyed in the blaze and the library, computer suite and Year 6 classroom damaged by smoke and heat.
The school was already undergoing a rebuild and the finished complex was toured by Stephen Crabb and Paul Davies.
“We were shown around by the head teacher Pat Mansfield and were very impressed by the new facilities,” said Mr Davies.
“Although it is very close to the town centre it has a lot of space with both a playground and playing field on the site.”
The school has 214 pupils, many of whom are Roman Catholic.
Stephen praised the school for the inclusive atmosphere created by the staff and for the unique ethnic mix at Mary Immaculate.
“Mary Immaculate has more nationalities represented among the pupils than any other school in Pembrokeshire. It is a truly diverse school yet it still retains its very strong faith-based identity which undoubtedly contributes to its success.
“The parents, staff and governors have every reason to be proud of the school as it enters its 50th year and a new period in its growth and development.”
