Along with my fellow Northamptonshire MPs, local authority representatives and a group of school leaders, I was pleased to meet with the Schools Minister in the last week of term to discuss education in the county and the steps being taken to improve outcomes for our young people. Locally, our hardworking teachers, school staff and students have made big strides forward in terms of school standards in recent years, with so many more young people being taught in ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ schools, but there is always more to be done, so it was good to meet with the Minister to check on progress and discuss next steps.
