Levelling Up
I am delighted that the Government has identified Walsall as a target for investment, support and action that helps children from all backgrounds succeed by
Offering retention payments to schools to keep the best teachers in the highest priority subjects.
To better understand the skills gaps and establishing a new Future Skills Unit which will look at the data and evidence of where skills gaps exist.
Being prioritised as a location for a new specialist sixth form free school where there is limited provision.
Ensuring talented children from disadvantaged backgrounds have access to the highest standard of education.
Thousands more adults will soon be able to access free, flexible training and get the skills needed to secure careers in sectors including green, digital and construction as part of up to an additional £550 million boost to expand the popular Skills Bootcamps across the country.
Children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), their families and caregivers will be better supported with respite care and internship opportunities.
Councils will be funded £30 million for the next three years to set up more than 10,000 additional respite placements.
The Government is ensuring that talented children across Bloxwich, Willenhall and Walsall North have access to the highest standard of education
