On Monday morning, Councillor Jo Clements, Mayor of Poole visited Merley First School with her macebearer.  The Mayor , dressed in her formal robes and chains, explained to the children the work she does as Mayor and what her robes and gold chains are for. The Macebearer told us how the mace has changed over the years to the gold version that has been used for the past 350 years. The children asked some excellent questions and enjoyed the opportunity to see how British values are lived out in our community.
