I recently visited Headlands Primary School in my Northampton North constituency to speak not only to the pupils but also to the CEO of the Northampton Primary Academy Trust (NPAT) about the future of education in Northamptonshire.

On Friday, 2nd November I once again visited Kingsthorpe College in my constituency of Northampton North. I have visited the College on many occasions, most notably some three years ago in January 2016 when I brought the then-United States Ambassador to the UK to visit the school.

Children and the Arts is an independent charity which was originally set up by HRH The Prince of Wales to work with arts venues across the UK to reach children in communities who would normally not be exposed to such cultural education.

On Friday, 13th July 2018 I went to the area outside Waitrose in Kingsthorpe, Northampton to visit their “Big Sell” event as part of Waitrose’s Grow and Sell scheme.

On Monday, 21st May 2018 the Prime Minister hosted a reception at 10 Downing Street to celebrate the outstanding work of teachers. I was invited to bring a teacher from Northampton to this reception who had shown a true dedication to high-quality teaching.
