Education and Skills Bill

My hon. Friend the Minister for Schools and Learners has asked me to point out that he is in discussions with colleagues in Stoke-on-Trent to ensure that the BSF programme works in the best way for all children and young people there. He also said that he did not text from the plane; the text had been sent before he got on it. I say that for the avoidance of doubt on that detail. In the children's plan, we talked about the importance of schools being in the centre of their communities. The 21st century school is one that involves parents, is open beyond the school day and co-locates services on site.
