Education

I think we are quite well served locally by our schools. The events of the last year have proven the dedication and commitment to the future generations of our community.

​

There will always be areas for improvement, but these issues are often structural and not down to the teaching staff as a whole. 

​

I believe that the people who best know how to teach our children are the teachers. I think it is time to give them the tools for the job, and just let them get on with it. Teaching is a profession and a calling: let's enable our teachers to produce the best results for our children.

​

I will work hard with Governors, PTA's, partners, and other organisations to get the very best locally for education, free of political motivation or constraints.
