We have some of the best schools in the region. It is vital that we continue to support them to succeed and fund them appropriately. Our children deserve happy, healthy childhoods and to thrive through excellent education.
In the last Parliament I helped secure:
- Highest school funding levels in history, with £91 million allocated to our local schools for 2024-25.
- £1.5 million for Grantham College to upgrade existing facilities, following the opening of its £2.6 million state-of-the-art Institute of Technology.
- More schools in the constituency are now rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted than in 2019.
I want to ensure that not only do academic standards and results improve, but our children are happy and learn the importance of kindness and compassion, giving them the best possible opportunity in life.
