Fiona was first elected in 2010. She has visited schools across the constituency and welcomed many hundreds of students to Parliament, and prioritised fighting for better funding for local schools.'

In 2017, together with local Head Teachers, Fiona secured a significant victory on school funding - with funding for secondary school pupils' education rising to the £4,800 per pupil minimum which she had campaigned for, and the Government announcing in total an extra £1.3bn per year into school budgets.

Fiona has strongly argued in Parliament for better funding for local schools, making it very clear to both the Schools Minister Nick Gibb and the then Secretary of State for Education Justine Greening that current funding proposals for schools in this area are wholly unsatisfactory. Indeed, schools have been underfunded for years, and need an increase not a reduction. Click here for one of Fiona's speeches in the House of Commons on this issue.

 

Fiona has visited schools regularly across the constituency to talk to students, and explain her role and the value of democracy, and has welcomed hundreds of school children to Parliament.
