Labour — Bishop Auckland

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 July 2025

Debate

Educational Attainment of Boys

Contribution

I will keep this brief, because I am conscious that the next debate is also of great importance. I thank everybody who has attended and contributed to the debate; they were excellent contributions. I am grateful for the cross-party support on this issue. I look forward to reading the Government’s White Paper on school standards, to be published in the autumn, and engaging with them on that. I will write to the Minister on how we can do more to embed social and emotional learning in early years settings. Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered the attainment and engagement of boys in education.
