David Cameron makes 'surprise' visit to West London Free School

The Prime Minister today visited the home of the West London Free School where he spoke to pupils during their Friday morning assembly.

David Cameron turned up to officially open its new building at Palingswick House in Hammersmith.

Journalist Toby Young, who founded the school, said it was a “proud moment”, adding the visit was a surprise for WLFS’s 600 pupils.

“There were quite a few jaws on the floor when the Prime Minister walked in,” he said.

“It was a fantastic moment and something I hope they’ll remember for the rest of their lives.”

Mr Cameron said: "I’m delighted that there are now more good schools in London and elsewhere as a result of the free schools programme, providing children from all parts of our communities with the best opportunities in life.”
