BEDFORD MODERN SCHOOL – FORMER PUPIL AND NEW BEDFORD MP, RICHARD FULLER, VISITS SCHOOL

Former Bedford Modern School student and newly elected Conservative MP for Bedford, Richard Fuller visited Bedford Modern School on Friday 18th June to work with the School’s Year 12 Politics students before addressing an Assembly for students in Years 7 to 9.

“I am enormously proud to be an OBM and grateful for my education at Bedford Modern School and all the opportunities this has provided me with in my life. I always felt, at all times, that the BMS teaching staff had my, and all the students’, interests at heart.

“Bedford is a wonderful town and I want to see the town fulfil its true potential. Always keep an open heart to the things you want to do in your life, and open to other people. I will keep my town at the centre of my heart too,” said Richard Fuller.

With a passion for his home town, particularly the diversity of its people, the beauty of its river and parks and the strengths of its schools and colleges, Richard wants to see Bedford achieve its full potential and is determined to use his parliamentary term to promote business and to bring back jobs to Bedford, making it an even better place for families to live.

Stuart Baker, Head of Politics at Bedford Modern School said: “It was fantastic to welcome Richard back to BMS as the new MP. For Politics students, Richard’s reflections on the campaign were an interesting way to finish their AS studies.”
