Last week, Julian visited Bradleys Both Community Primary School, meeting the Head Boy, two schools council leaders, the Headteacher, Barry Rogers, Head of Governors, Becky Stapleton, and Jo Robinson, CEO of The Yorkshire Collaborative Academy Trust.
During his visit Julian was shown around the school and spoke with Barry, Becky and Jo about the school’s funding concerns and their new plan for catering.
Julian welcomed the chance to discuss their concerns and will make sure that his ministerial colleagues are aware of the particular challenges facing rural schools.
Julian Smith said, “It was great to meet everyone at Bradleys Both and I’m grateful to Becky for inviting me. There’s so much potential within our schools and I will continue to fight for our children to receive the best possible start in life.”
“The children I met were all excellent ambassadors for their school, very polite and clearly proud of their wonderful school.”
