Our young people deserve the best start in life, and to be able to fulfil their potential. That is why I have delivered on my 2019 pledges on school funding - both per-pupil funding and capital investment, and I’m working to secure more.
- School funding at it's highest level ever, up 10% in real terms since 2019 - delivering on our commitment
- We've secured the full rebuild of Cockermouth School, alongside many other upgrades across Penrith and Solway
- I'm running annual skills fairs to help our young people make the right choices for them.
