× PUPILS at Horizon Community College were shocked to see Prime Minister Boris Johnson virtually attend their maths lesson last Friday.
Youngsters thought that they would be asking questions to Miriam Cates, MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge, who also attended the lesson, but it wasn’t until principal Claire Huddart welcomed the Prime Minister into the session they were aware what was happening.
The school had been recommended to Number 10 by the Department for Education following their exemplary work during lockdown - something which Mrs Huddart believes is a ‘great accolade’ for the entirety of Barnsley.
She told the Chronicle: “It all started as I picked up a phone call from Number 10 saying that Boris Johnson would like to drop into a session on Friday.
