Throughout my time as the local MP, I have always strived to be one of our local education sector’s biggest advocates – regularly working with, and speaking up on behalf of, all our Mid Norfolk schools.
That’s why it was a pleasure to meet with Shannon O’Sullivan, the brilliant Headteacher at Thomas Bullock Primary in Shipdham, this past week to catch up with her and her wonderful team, speak to pupils and find out more about the fantastic work being done to educate them.
See my video above.
I strongly reject the views of some in Whitehall that we should be bussing young children to bigger schools in towns and cities. Thomas Bullock is another exceptional example of a village school doing outstanding work to support their youngsters – and I am determined to do all I can to ensure that rural schools like them across our area get the funding and support they need.
