Q1 Chris Skidmore Con Congresbury
Context

The UK government has announced a £1 billion package to help children catch up on missed education due to the pandemic.

Question

My local authority, South Gloucestershire Council, was the first in the country to implement a recovery curriculum to support schools. Will the Secretary of State join me in congratulating South Gloucestershire Council and all the teachers on their hard work to provide vital support for local pupils, and encourage his Department and other local authorities to consider this model as potential best practice?

Answer from Gavin Williamson (Secretary of State for Education)

I very much join my right hon. Friend in congratulating South Gloucestershire Council on the work that it has been doing and rolling out across schools in its area. I would be delighted to look at that work and maybe to meet my right hon. Friend and colleagues from South Gloucestershire Council to understand some of the work that has been undertaken and what we can use from that to roll out in different parts of the country.
