One of the highlights of my week was visiting Alma Primary School alongside the Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson, to see first-hand the difference Labour's education reforms are making for local families.

I was also delighted to confirm that from this September, Alma Primary School, Kingfisher Hall Primary Academy, Chesterfield Primary School and Brimsdown Primary School will all benefit from Labour's Best Start free breakfast clubs.
