I recently had a very interesting meeting with school leaders from across Corby & East Northamptonshire to discuss the challenges facing our local schools, and ways we can work together to best address these. It was also a useful chance to talk about the opportunities that will arise through the process of transitioning to the new unitary authority for North Northamptonshire. An interesting meeting and good to have so many school leaders together in one room, so that we can all work together - and particularly on the key issue of getting school exclusion provision right, and there were some very interesting ideas about how that might best be achieved. As ever, I will continue to work hard to support every school in Corby & East Northamptonshire and look forward to our next meeting to take this agenda forward.
