We were visiting the houses of Parliament. When we arrived, the children had a tour of the house of Lords and got so see lots of important meeting rooms, as well as the King’s robing room that is used when he visits Parliament once a year. The interior of the building was magnificent. We also met our local MP, Sarah Coombes. She talked about her roles, how she looks after our local community and listens to our voices before discussing our points during important meetings at Parliament. She said she has met both, King Charles III and Kier Starmer! After our time inside Parliament, we around to see Big Ben, the river Thames and the London Eye. We stood at Westminster bridge to take in the sights around us, we then headed to see 10 Downing street. After our busy day in the capital, we ate lunch overlooking the houses of Parliament before our journey back to school. ### Parliament trip 2025 [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/parliament-trip-2025/1F3E7E25-1729-40B5-B23E-5B9804C6412B.jpeg) ](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/images/gallery/parliament-trip-2025/1F3E7E25-1729-40B5-B23E-5B9804C6412B.jpeg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/parliament-trip-2025/4D4E7FA7-82A1-462E-A70E-8D0ACF6A6045.jpeg) ](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/images/gallery/parliament-trip-2025/4D4E7FA7-82A1-462E-A70E-8D0ACF6A6045.jpeg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/parliament-trip-2025/05EC9900-B0B4-498F-AFC1-054929DCE413.jpeg) ](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/images/gallery/parliament-trip-2025/05EC9900-B0B4-498F-AFC1-054929DCE413.jpeg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/parliament-trip-2025/08DD7CFD-AA1B-4A62-ABD5-6988ABDFE1DB.jpeg) ](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/images/gallery/parliament-trip-2025/08DD7CFD-AA1B-4A62-ABD5-6988ABDFE1DB.jpeg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/parliament-trip-2025/20A1B033-2F98-4601-857E-F8AA5688254B.jpeg) ](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/images/gallery/parliament-trip-2025/20A1B033-2F98-4601-857E-F8AA5688254B.jpeg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/parliament-trip-2025/65E509F8-79C6-48DA-91CB-A832C0AE2071.jpeg) ](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/images/gallery/parliament-trip-2025/65E509F8-79C6-48DA-91CB-A832C0AE2071.jpeg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/parliament-trip-2025/B5198366-597C-4B3D-A549-6FB0613311DC.jpeg) ](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/images/gallery/parliament-trip-2025/B5198366-597C-4B3D-A549-6FB0613311DC.jpeg) [ Edgmond day 4 ](https://www.grovevale.co.uk/blog/2025-10-09-21-37-00-edgmond-day-4) [ A special visit from Auntie Duck! ](https://www.grovevale.co.uk/blog/2026-03-03-13-37-a-special-visit-from-auntie-duck) ### [Latest News](https://www.grovevale.co.uk/news) [![Image of Nursery and Reception Open Day 5th November 2026](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/logo-2.png)](https://www.grovevale.co.uk/news/2026-06-11-nursery-and-reception-open-day-5th-november-2026) #### [Nursery and Reception Open Day 5th November 2026](https://www.grovevale.co.uk/news/2026-06-11-nursery-and-reception-open-day-5th-november-2026) 11 June 2026 [![Image of September 2026 Starters](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/logo-2.png)](https://www.grovevale.co.uk/news/2026-04-18-september-2026-starters) #### [September 2026 Starters](https://www.grovevale.co.uk/news/2026-04-18-september-2026-starters) 18 April 2026 [![Image of Partnerships With UNICEF ](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/unicef.jpg)](https://www.grovevale.co.uk/news/2024-09-19-partnerships-with-unicef) #### [Partnerships With UNICEF ](https://www.grovevale.co.uk/news/2024-09-19-partnerships-with-unicef) 19 September 2024 ### Contact Us **Grove Vale Primary School** Monksfield Avenue Great Barr Birmingham B43 6AL Tel: 01213574319 - [CEOP](http://www.ceop.police.uk/) - [Think You Know](http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/) - [Department for Education](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education) - [Action for Children](http://www.actionforchildren.org.uk/) © Copyright 2017–2026 Grove Vale Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.grovevale.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
