James Sunderland welcomes the £16 million safety valve programme and other SEN initiatives provided to Bracknell Forest by the Department for Education and calls on the Secretary of State to visit Bracknell to see all the good and outstanding schools and the focus on apprenticeships and T-levels at Bracknell and Wokingham College.
James Sunderland (Bracknell) (Con)
I thank the Education Secretary for all the support that her Department is giving to Bracknell Forest, particularly the £16 million safety valve programme and other SEN initiatives. Given the high number of good and outstanding schools in Bracknell and the focus on apprenticeships and T-levels at Bracknell and Wokingham College, might I tempt her please to visit?
Mr Speaker
A quick yes.
The Secretary of State for Education (Gillian Keegan)
It is tempting. We are proud of the safety valve programme, which is being used across 38 local authorities, and I would love to see it in action as I know it is providing a lifeline to many councils.
