I recently visited Braunstone Community Primary School and Caldecote Community Primary School – two of our wonderful Leicester West primary schools.

We spoke about how teachers and pupils are managing during coronavirus, and how important it is that students can bounce-back after their learning has been impacted so much over the last year.

If we are to build a brighter future as we emerge from this pandemic, the Government must put education at the top of the agenda, and our schools must receive the support they need.
