Teachers' Pay

Dear Constituent,

Thank you for contacting me about teachers’ pay.

Nursuries' & Early Years Providers' Finances

Early years are crucial to giving every child the best start in life and extensive evidence shows that high-quality childcare supports children’s development and prepares younger children for school.

Free School Meals During Christmas

In Britain today, no child need go hungry — particularly at Christmas. The Government have put together an emergency package of support measures for families and vulnerable children.

Reception Baseline Assessment

Primary education is fundamental to ensuring every child receives the best possible start in life. The primary assessment and accountability system plays an important role in ensuring that every child, no matter what their background or where they go to school, benefits from a high-quality primary education

School Uniform Costs

I believe uniforms can play a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of a school and setting an appropriate tone. Schools are expected to consult with parents and pupils, and take their views into account when setting the school uniform policy.

Teach the Future / Climate in the Curriculum

The environment is an important part of the national curriculum, with the fundamental concepts taught at primary school, before progressing to a higher level of awareness and understanding at secondary school.

Successful Schools

Schools, more than ever, need to be at the forefront of our Governments thinking. We should not accept the idea that there can be winners or losers when it comes to our children’s futures.
