The talent of young pupils was on show for a leading Harrow politican.

Children at Krishna Avanti Primary School, in Camrose Avenue, Edgware, put on a talent show on July 18 for the leader of Harrow Council David Perry (Labour).

Mr Perry said: “I was hugely impressed by the talent on show at the Avanti event. These are young people with presence and bright futures ahead of them. Unlike Simon Cowell, I couldn’t find a bad word to say about these contestants.

“Harrow’s schools are success story and Avanti has added to the diversity and choice we offer to our parents.

“We look forward to taking on plans for the Avanti secondary school later this year, a move which will again establish Harrow as a leader in education.”
