Context
In Uxbridge and South Ruislip, children in English schools are the best readers in the western world due to Government efforts. This has led to outstanding or good Ofsted ratings.
Will my right hon. Friend join me in congratulating the team at Ruislip High School and the children's services team at Hillingdon Council on their recent outstanding ratings, and will he pledge to work with me to ensure that children across Uxbridge and South Ruislip have the best possible education?
I join my hon. Friend in congratulating Ruislip High School and Hillingdon Council's children's services team. Nearly 90% of schools in Uxbridge and South Ruislip are now rated good or outstanding by Ofsted, up from under 70% in 2010, following the great work of teachers and our relentless focus on improving school standards.
