If she will make it her policy to prioritise Hudson primary school, Sefton, in the school rebuilding programme. The building is 80 years old and suffers from high water table issues leading to damp, mould, and structural problems.
I thank my hon. Friend for his advocacy for Hudson primary school. He has spoken to me before about the excellent performance of the school and its headteacher. We will be selecting the 250 schools for the school rebuilding programme by the end of the year and announce them at the start of next year. It will be based on those schools that have the most acute need in terms of their building state.
Assessment & feedback

Hudson primary school does a brilliant job. It is a family hub that specialises in support for children with SEND and autism and has a nursery. The building is 80 years old and suffers from high water table issues leading to damp, mould, and occasional flooding. Will the Minister give Niki Craddock, the headteacher at Hudson primary school, her team and all the children they serve the news that he will look favourably on prioritising this school in the rebuilding programme?
