Sir Mick said that visiting his former school “brings back a lot of memories and it’s nice to see the kids seem happy”.

According to The Mick Jagger Centre, the singer funds its Red Rooster project offering music tuition, including in local primary schools.

“If you can express yourself through song, drama, art, dance – all these things are important,” Sir Mick added.

“My involvement’s been honestly pretty minimal in a real way, but I do feel connected to it, and I think all the people involved with it have done a really wonderful job.”
