Labour — Bracknell

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 September 2026

Debate

Curriculum and Assessment Review

Contribution

This summer, the Prime Minister set out his ambition for our education system: “Whether you choose construction, coding or classics…Labour will build an education system where you’ll get the skills you need”. As chair of the all-party parliamentary group on classics, I really welcome that. Will the Secretary of State set out her vision for the arts and humanities in our curriculum to ensure that more young people take up these subjects, which are so good at empowering them with skills?
