Welcoming the Government’s proposed reforms to School Funding

I am pleased to welcome a new consultation from the Department of Education, asking for the views of the public on proposals that will ensure education funding is allocated more consistently across the country.

For too long Cornwall’s Schools have received funding that is below the English average. Education Secretary Michael Gove’s proposals aim to tackle such funding gaps.

I would encourage constituents to participate in the consultation, the details of which can be found through the below link:
