from Jonathan Davies for Mid Derbyshire https://ift.tt/6YKnm7X
I returned from parliament last night and made my first constituency visit today.
I wanted to start my time as Mid Derbyshire’s MP listening to local young people, so it was a pleasure to visit Belper School and Sixth Form Centre.
We need young people to succeed for the future of our country. They have been let down by government in recent years.
The sixth formers I spoke with asked excellent questions, and their thoughts are already informing my work.
I was also pleased to visit the school’s creative industries faculty.
Many schools reduced their arts and creative provision in response to the former government’s priorities, so it was excellent to see work Belper School has done to ensure these subjects continue to thrive there.
