Education is an English success story, with standards rising rapidly over the last decade thanks to Conservative reforms that gave school leaders more freedom and improved accountability. In July 2024, Ofsted ranked 96% of schools in the constituency of Bromley and Biggin Hill as good or outstanding, with none marked as requiring improvement.
But the Labour government is turning the clocks back. Labour is vandalising state schools by stripping school leaders of their freedoms over staff, pay and curriculum. The decision to impose VAT on independent schools has hit thousands of families locally. I want every child to receive an excellent education, so I will fight Labour’s ideological policies that put trade unions first rather than children.
