Working with our Schools

  • Tweet
schools

I regularly correspond and work with our local headteachers to ensure that we can work together to get the best for our local children. 

This includes working with them to campaign for the government to provide holiday Free School Meals, to ensure that, education-wise, our on-ground situation is considered by the government, and to push for our area to get more funding and facilities.  Lockdowns have made local visits more difficult to arrange but it's been really good to have been able to do Q&A sessions with several local schools, colleges and Scout groups.
